Very cool. I believe my Chickerings to be very rare. I have only seen two other Chickering cabs of Sullivan and I have never seen a Kilrain.

Is this photo studio still around?

Had a professional remove the boarder mounts on the backs. VERY PLEASED TO SAY THE LEAST!

I recently picked up this 1899 Chickering Boston Team Cabinet and wondered what your thoughts were in terms of getting it professionally restored -- specifically the torn/peeling section at the bottom, and maybe a cleaning? I'm most likely going to consign it in the not too distant future. FYI, this thing is huge -- 19.5" x 23.5"!

Heritage has a listing in their February auction for the same cabinet. Yours is larger than the Heritage one, although yours obviously is in rough shape. Great item nonetheless - I certainly will be interested to see what you decide to do with it, as one who collects Boston items from the era!

Nice cabinet, rockthree. I would leave it as it is. It is a very sharp photo.
Nice cabinet, Jay.
Manny and Bryan, to your point, a board member saw this "man in a suit" on eBay and recognized it as HOF boxer Jim Corbett. I posted it the other day in the Boxing section. The mount is similar to the General Stafford which I think puts the Corbett photo around 1898-99.
