6 Late 19th or Early 20th Century Photos of Local Baseball Teams and Players.
Lot 313. 6 Late 19th or Early 20th Century Photos of Local Baseball Teams and Players. The “class” of this collection is a beautiful sepia composite photo of the 1915 Grantley Park Athletic Club by a York, PA, photographer. Grantley is near York. The 6 ½” x 9 ½” composite on an 11” x 14” mount has crystal-clear studio photos of nine players in uniform plus two men in suits. Unimprovable photo on an ex mount that has a couple of tiny surface chips. One of the more interesting photos is of a “C & O” team that has an African-American child as its mascot. Taken outdoors, the 8” x 10” photo is vg+ to ex with superb focus and contrast. Two other photos show teams outdoors. The Hills Grove (Hillsgrove, PA?) team is the subject of a 4 ¾” x 6 ½” photo on a 7” x 9 mount. The players wear quilted pants. Ex to ex-m photo; the mount has two chipped corners. The Whitcomb team is in a 5” x 7” ex-m sepia photo on an 8” x 10” vg mount. In a 4 ½” x 7” photo on an 8” x 10” mount, a catcher and batter are posed in a studio. Sharp ex-m photo, stains on the mount. Nine players of what appears to be a Winchester team are posed with vintage bats, a catcher’s mask and gloves in an 8” x 10” ex-m to nm photo. For some reason, some letters on the players’ jerseys appear to have been obliterated on the negative. Excellent collection of quality vintage photos.
Winning Bid $148.
