Lot 51. 1926 “Boston Braves in the 1880’s” Featuring Goodwin & Co. Old Judge Images. In 1926, a series of sepia composites using Old Judge images was produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National League. The Boston Braves display includes 4 3/8” x 6 1/8” sepia images of eight Boston players – and Abner Dalrymple, who never played for Boston! In the 1880s, Dalrymple was an outfielder for Chicago and Pittsburgh. Among the Boston players are Hall of Famer Jim O’Rourke, Sam Wise, Joe Hornung, Ezra Sutton, Dick Johnston, John Morrill, Kid Madden and Bobby Wheelock. The images are printed on photo paper about 18 ½” x 27 ½” and adhered to artboard. There are tack holes in the corners, corner creases and some light stains in the borders, which could easily be matted out. The image area is clean with strong photos. These 1926 commemoratives are scarce. Original cabinet cards of these players could easily cost $5,000-$10,000. This attractive display could be yours for as little as our
Winning Bid $267.
