Peter,
That is a possibility. I've also dug up the following interesting factoids: Three of Henry Reccius' brothers, John, Bill and Phil, were in baseball. John Reccius was a pitcher/centerfielder for the Louisville Eclipse (American Association) in 1882 and 1883. Bill Reccius was the founder and manager of the Louisville Eclipse in the 1870s. Phil Reccius played for Louisville from 1882 - 1888, Cleveland in 1887 and Rochester in 1890, all in the Amer Assoc. The Reccius brothers were childhood friends of Pete Browning and Jimmy "Chicken" Wolf. Reccius Baseball Park was the home of the team (at least from 1906 - 1915), at the NW corner of Garland Ave and 28th Street. Steve

As there are references to both 2606 and 2608 Elliott, perhaps at a point he had acquired adjacent properties and used one for business.

Reccius
I realize this is pulling up a thread from nearly 5 years ago, but nearly everyone who posted is still active, so I thought you might be interested in a little addendum. Sorry, it doesn't solve the big question of the issue date of the Reccius Wagner.
Henry’s brother, John, pitched in the American Association for the Louisville Colonels. Immediately following his playing days, he opened a sporting goods store specializing "Base Ball Supplies" in Louisville. His store also sold, among other things, cigars. I recently won the business/advertising card shown below in an auction. Based on information found in the Louisville City Directory and the Louisville Courier-Journal, J W Reccius operated his base ball supplies store at 1703 Market St (the address on the card) in 1883 and 1884, then moved to a new location at 342 Third St. in 1885.
