Photo Identification Help Thread

[rhettyeakley]

I always think these are fun and educational when we throw up some photos we aren't having luck identifying, sometimes a fresh set of eyes can add some light to the mix.

#1) Who is depicted on this E270 card that was supposed to be Bobby Byrne? It doesn't look anything like Byrne.


#2) I have the following (2) cabinets from the 1900 Norwich Team (Connecticut League) that I am having a hard time identifying. Here is the roster lineup, several former/future Major leaguers on there...

Here are the photos...


Any help is appreciated, and feel free to post your items you are trying to identify,

Also, I already believe I have Identified the following three as Danny Murphy (long career with Philadelphia A's after leaving Norwich), Frank Corridon (t206 subject), and Joe Harrington (1890's Boston NL player). Obviously then the top two guys aren't any of these three subjects.

Murphy, Corridon, Harrington

Rhett - the first one you posted on the left is Joe Wall. I agree with your other ID's. Really nice photos. The E270 is not Byrne.

Thanks Mark, definitely him. One more to go!

The E270 "Byrne" card has been driving me nuts! Who is this guy?

Thanks to Rhys and Rhett for helping me date the RPPC, and from there I consulted pictures in Spalding and Reach guides and came up with possibly the right person for the RPPC. I believe this RPPC dates from 1920-21 and is a photo of Chick Knaupp (William Lewis) who played for Nashville from 1920-22. Chick took over managing the Nashville club for Hub Perdue in 1921. Here is a team photo from a Spalding 1923 guide and Chick is #11. I believe it strongly resembles the RPPC, but will need confirmation from our Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist! The uni's are from 1922 in the Spalding guide, and I noticed that the RPPC did not have the "N" on the sleeve, so perhaps the RPPC dates a year or two before 1922, which fits the time frame for Chick.... I am still researching for further confirmation, but with the RPPC time frame Rhys provided (18-21), it made the hunt a lot easier. Thanks again guys ! Any opinions are welcome -

Okkonen's book cites this Brooklyn uniform style as being used 1918-19 and 1922-24. Who is this guy? Thanks for any help!
