Picked up this cabinet last week. I haven't seen many with these type of quilted pants. Anyone know if these were common in 19th Century uniforms?

You will see them in the early 1900s and late 1890s.

Quited pants on ball players are actually quite common for that era. Most cabinets and tin types I've ever owned had them.

Most people straddle the fence about whether it's 1890 or 1900. I'll post it here when I get back from getting my Old Cardboard baseball card sheets framed. Yum.

if that means it's earlier or later. Can anyone compare the gloves?

Information on the gloves would be interesting. I was kind of curious about the size of the thumb on the glove in the original post.

I've got this verschlungener photo at the end of my 19th century album, and don't even know if it belongs there!

generally the larger mount and expanded size with grey or black mounts mean later dating 1900-1920, usally having an impressed photographers stamp in the lower right corner. the traditional cabinet card size and small mount with albumen type photos are 1880 to mid 1890's, ans usually have printed photographer info across the bottom. at least that has been my experience with sports and non sports mounted photo images.

Here's my guess as to relative age (oldest to newest): Jule's, Bill's and Rob's. Julie's and Bill's might be very close in age, so the guess was based on general appearance Rob's is the newest due to technical reason.
