Dave, thanks again for your valued input.
(Sorry I had cropped my Dubuque photo)
The baseball team Cabinet photograph is stamped "DUBUQUE"---"H.A. Jordan" "Artist"
#1) Fact: This establishes without question the location of the photo being Dubuque.
#2) H.A. Jordan -(Artist)-Dubuque Photographer (date range) Per research by the Center for Dubuque History. Loras College, Dubuque,Iowa
Quote: Director/Locas College, Dubuque Iowa: ---" Indeed the first listing of H.A. Jordan Photographer, appears for the first time in the 1881 Dubuque City Directory. We find his name in the city Directories up to and including 1890 when he disappears from the listings."
( Most business requires some start-up time, so its feasible the Jordan's Studio opened earlier?)
I might point out a five cent cigar would be expensive for most children.
The uniform question: I can only point out it appears Mr. Jordan high-lighted a "Star" on Reis's baseball hat. This to me is significant.
I still believe to have a very good case!--Thanks again!
