Default 1880's H804-5 Black Baseball Trade Card

On the back of the card it says at GIBBON'S Birmingham,Ct Does that mean it was in Alabama & Connecticut? I've lived my whole life in Ct and never heard of Birmingham in Ct.
Or is that Birmingham Court?
Does anybody know?

thanks,
john

That's the one. Part of Derby that went under its own name for a while.

Steve Birmingham
Yes, I'm from a few towns over but not related to the town name in any way.

I guess you learn something every day.

Derby is divided into two main sections by the Naugatuck River: East Derby and Derby Center (Birmingham). that was from Wikipedia.

thanks,

Not sure if it's definitely the place, but in the 1880's there was an E.S. Gibbons Shoe Store in Birmingham, CT.
