This is one of three Civil War-related baseball images of which I’m aware. One is a GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) image like this one, but with better composition, and the other is a game in progress at Fort Pulaski. The Pulaski image has always bothered me because the game looks like it might be something other than baseball. I remember reading somewhere that the Hall’s research staff had opined that it depicts baseball, but that it gave no reasoning.
Please let me know what you think of this image, good or bad. Last edited by sphere and ash; 10-18-2018 at 02:11 PM. |

Here is the Fort Pulaski image, with a game in the background, which I no longer own.
Does anyone else own another Civil War baseball image? |

I used to own this one. The style of the cdv speaks early 1860s, although I'm not sure of the dating.
Ron- I really like the outdoor, ball park image. Tim-Nice shot. Last edited by GaryPassamonte; 10-18-2018 at 03:03 PM. |

Gary, that’s a great shot. I once owned a stereoview of that image. I believe it has a notation on the verso stating that it was taken in a place that would indicate it was from the Indian Wars. I would consider that conjectural until the stereoview can be located again.

Tin Type and CDV
Two of our most recent...an early, tinted tintype of two uniformed players and a pair of Una BBC players circa 1877.

Jonathan, I particularly liked your tintype diptych. It’s clear that it’s part of a well-curated collection.

1866 cabinet featuring the Brooklyn Excelsiors visiting the Washington Nationals. Shown in the from row is Henry Chadwick who accompanied Brooklyn on their tour. Also shown is Arthur Gorman, the Nationals President, who later became a senator from Maryland and is featured in the 1888 Duke Presidential Possibilities set.
