1886 Kansas City Cowboy's National League player. Not identified on the card but believed to be Pete Conway.

Rob, nice cabinet! If Pete Conway, which I believe it is, it dates to just before he was picked up by Detroit (8/5/1886). The comparison portrait you show of Pete with Detroit would date to either late 1886 or just before the start of 1887 season and was taken by Tomlinson Studio. I've never seen the full portrait you've posted, only the oval cutout found on the 1887 team's "Champions of the League" composite (attached below). Could you point me to the source for the full Conway portrait with Detroit? Thank You.

Hey Joe - Believe it or not, that bust shot of Pete Conway is from his Wiki web page.

Thank you Rob, I was surprised to see that portrait and even more surprised to learn of Rich Adler's book on U of M baseball. Some real neat information in the first couple chapters (see page 25).

A copy of the book is now on its way to me. Thank You !
