Exceptional early 1880s image of the first baseball sporting goods factory in America. Published by the "Lithotype Printing Co. 114 Nassau St. New York" it is a "real photo" (Type I) mounted on a beautiful cardboard mount. The only historic baseball one was from a series of New England views. Similar in content, but of churches & other buildings of Massachusetts. This is the first we have seen of this factory filled with treasures of the past, but this piece is a treasure itself. Some foxing, otherwise EX-MT.
