Image of a no-ad Kalamazoo Bats Team Cabinet (N690-1)?
Anyone have an image of a no-ad Kalamazoo Bats Team Cabinet (N690-1)? Love to see one...and hear the dimensions as well.
From the REA site describing a with ad example: Kalamazoo Bats team cabinet cards are known to exist in two styles: 1) with no advertising on the mount, but with a small embossed "Chas. Gross & Co." stamp on the surface of the photograph (it is possible that these are proof cards of some type), and 2) with gilt-lettered advertising that prominently reads "Smoke Kalamazoo Bats" on the mount. The style with advertising (as is the case here) is a huge version of a smaller Kalamazoo bats team card, but with a black mount, and is by far the more desirable style. Kalamazoo Bats team cabinets are among the rarest of all nineteenth-century baseball cards. It is unknown exactly how they were issued. It is likely that they were issued by mail, perhaps in exchange for coupons, as this was the case for many other premiums available from Kalamazoo Bats and other tobacco companies in this era. Kalamazoo Bats are particularly noted for the distinctive style and quality of their images. Thanks! Mac
