I would tend to agree with you Lucas. And I thought about that when I bought it. But then I thought, “this random clipping was saved and perfectly folded to a size that fits the picture case” My guess is it was kept with A photo. Unless somehow the two pieces were separated over the years, it probably goes with THIS photo. But you are right, unless we can positively put the two together, there’s just no proof.

That is uncommon, and probably pre dates most board members earliest pieces.

No realistic chance for proof, I would guess. You could try reaching out to Bowdoin College perhaps.

Probably not the college
I believe This article refers to the first base ball club in Boston, started by John Lowell in 1858. First called the the Bowdoin Square Base Ball Club, the dropped the Square in 1859. Lowell went on tho found the Lowell, Base Ball club, which was on of 3 major teams in the Boston area and he was the one who awarded the silver ball. It is likely the Bowdoin team played under the Massachusetts rules. The headquarters was near Bowdoin street. See John Thorn mlb blog piece.
I can’t tell anything about the image, but it is interesting and probably the person, but just can’t tell at this point. Also, I can’t tell from just the photo whether it is actually an ambrotype, I assume you have checked. I think it was worth taking a shot at if fairly inexpensive.

According to an article I found in the May 8, 1860 Boston Evening Transcript (on newspapers.com), and on the Protoball.org website, it looks like the Bowdoin Club played under the new (at the time) New York Rules. Steve
