These are the last images of the group I picked up.
A game being played on the beach in Nantasket, Massachusetts, in front of the Rockland house, circa 1875-78 I think.
A Williston Academy gymnasium game in progress to go with 2 other Williston Academy images I already had with players in a line, not a game. In 1996, the Rucker auction speculated that the image depicts the 1870 Cincinnati Red Stockings practicing on their tour. I have no evidence of that, but they are very well attired and I think there may be a resemblance to a couple known players, but I don’t think I can ever prove a connection, although I am hopeful someone can help. This is encased in glass, sealed by copper.
