don't know for sure
I think I remember us discussing these and someone did in fact finally find where they came from. I forget the specifics though. I have seen about a handful in the last several years....

Alan,
Here's a link to Frank Ward's Web site with a picture of a Cobb, and what is now Leon's McBride. http://www.centuryoldcards.com/Uncataloged.html And here's my Ainsmith, which is, sorry to say, not blue. It is 3.75 high by 1.75 wide. I picked it up off of eBay about a year ago, from another Washington collector.  As much alike as these three look, I don't think they're just a generic "catcher" pose. Look at the caps, the lines on the glove, and the way the socks and shoes are shown. I think the differences are more than what you'd see just from printing variation. What's even more odd about Leon's is that McBride was a shortstop for most of his career--never played a game in the majors as catcher. Bill

From various auctions/websites ... the Wheat and Mathewson appear to be the same pose except for the team insignia on the throwing shoulder. If anyone owns these and does not want them shown, I apologize and I'll take them down. Hope this helps!

Hal and Leon, that is a great help, I really appreciate it! The Cobb looks slightly different in terms of the lettering from the other ones. Has anyone seen different colors for the Matthewson Wheat or Lajoie? Or other colors for the red ones shown above and on Frank's site? I think the different colors and relative uniformity might rule out a cut down from a larger piece. Thanks again for the scans and information!

Excellent! That is the first I have heard of with different colors and the same player. Could you post a scan? Do you notice any differences between the Meyers above and the blue one you have? I think that might settle the possibility of it being cut down from a larger piece. I really appreciate everyone's posts!

Frank can update his site now. With the 7 shown here, plus the Cobb, that's 8 definite players known.
It looks like there are differences among the pitcher poses, too. Look at the angle of the lines on the front of the uniform. That's not just sloppy printing. Facial features sure do look alike, though. Bill
