This is a new one on us - a 19th Century Baseball Carte-de-Visite from George Hinman & Company's Bay State Dollar Store in Worcester, Mass. The 2.5x4" card features the photo of a baseball statue for sale on the front as an "opening" invitation. The front is NRMT, while the back - which promotes lots of merchandise - shows some browning and scribbling in both pen and pencil. Overall, this is in EX+ condition and is a great piece of Americana. Address dates it as 1870s.
