Lot #112:

1900 circa Near Mint P&C New York Town Base Ball Team 5” x 7“ Cabinet Type 1 Original Photo on Mount (MEARS LOA)

Measuring 5” x 7” on 8” x 10” grooved mount. Studio name embossed on bottom center, “Hillig, Liberty, NY”. Nine players are depicted with two adult managers. The three center players are wearing the 1900-1910 circa full web gloves. The two catchers are holding high grade buckle back catchers mitts. The short brimmed baseball caps are consistent with 1900 era uniform styles. The team is posed in front of a vintage stone fence.

The actual image is in near mint condition, with striking contrast and clarity. The grooved mount is fully intact, with slight water spotting in the area of the upper left corner, which does not affect the actual image.
