1866 letter from a student attending college in Kentucky, to his sister. He states that most of the students are 'Unions'.

In 1884, Washington, DC, fielded a team, known both as the Nationals and the Statesmen, in the American Association. After losing a game by a score of 6 - 5 on August 2nd to the eventual league champion NY Metropolitans, the Washington team, with a 12 - 51 record, threw in the towel, as noted on this scorecard for this game and on this 1884 Washington team schedule:

Very cool, Val! That's an amazing piece of early Washington AA history.

Thanks, Scott. Although I am mostly a card collector, these two complimentary pieces do fascinate me, having lived in the VA suburbs of Washington all of my life.

The other thread about dating a 1870s tintype based on the cap style reminded me of this 1870s The John Wilkinson Company Uniforms fold-out catalog I have.

Sorry, but I had to chime in...
that piece is spectacular Joe!!!
It brings up a question I always wondered about....
What's the earliest catalog known for both Peck & Snyder and Spalding?
I remember REA a few years back had a Spalding from 1889 I believe, but there must be earlier ones in existence.
