Default 1887 Syracuse Trade Card Help

Posted By: Hal Lewis

JUST FOUND IT!!! YOU OWE ME ONE!!!



1887-1890 Syracuse City Directory:

George G. Campbell

Occupation: Saloon and Billiards

Business Address: 76 East Genesee

Home Address: 58 Warren

City: Syracuse

State: New York

Year: 1888 1889



CLEARLY a card made for his "saloon" as it lists the business address and NOT his home!!

He is definitely NOT the photographer who took the photo!!



Some folks may get technical and call it a "Trade Card" since these were probably given out free at the bar as advertising...

but STILL definitely a "baseball card"!!
