It's definitely a town team of some kind, and the different uniforms do nothing to dispel it. Dan made a good point that it would have been expensive for a team to buy nine uniforms, so players would be expected to show up to games wearing casual attire. And to take a bath.

I wish they still had town teams. All there is around here is softball and its not the same.

I had an integrated tintype about 5-7 years ago that looked very similar to this one, but not exact, so it is not unique but rare of course. I would think it is a $500-$1000 item but you never know.

The different uniforms might not mean anything - Spalding convinced the National League that all positions should have different uniforms in 1882. It didn't last for the whole season though...

I told Angela I would bump her post to the top for her one last time. She seems to feel that it is imperative to find out the African American's name and more about the team. I told her it seemed like she didn't really believe what the board had said and wished her luck in the quest. I think I know where a Wags is with blue eyes
. Personally, even if we found out the name, or names, of the players if there isn't anyone of distinction I don't think it will help the value a lot. regards

Angela- if you are reading this, please understand that your chance of finding the black player's name is very remote, and closer to impossible. In fact, there are only a very few known baseball tintypes where we have been able to identify the player. That's just the way it is. And I've been looking at and studying these for over twenty years.

Well, where did Angela find this tintype? Is it passed down through her family? Did she pick it up at a sale? Antique store? The odds of figuring out who any of these guys are is remote, but it'd be nice if she'd let us know if it has any provenance.
