I think there is only one Harper's Weekly woodcut that is pre-1865, that is from October 15, 1859, A Baseball Match at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken. That is the only one. The rest are from 1865 and later.

There are 2 from 1865, an 1866, and one from 1867.

The next oldest is one I have, the July 3, 1869 woodcut showing that fine Cincinnati Red Stocking team.
