Hope I don't take too much heat for this:

While not an Old Judge, this cabinet photo was used to make one. Hank Gastright of the 1889 Columbus Solons. This cabinet is cool because it was produced and distributed for the final run of the OJ series:

Old Judges were originally black and white with the sepia hues surfacing with time (faded chemicals). Those OJs that have been well cared for are sometimes more black and white than sepia. Here are a pair that look pack fresh, still black and white with only a faint sepia hue.

I actually like the sepia color. It's what one gets accustomed to when looking at a lot of old photographs. The true black and white actually looks a little weird to me.

Most collectors of 19th century photographs concur, myself included. But I do appreciate the examples that have survived so long in black & white form.

Thought I'd throw in a few of my favorite Old Judge cabinets
