From the turn of the century come these broadsides from the Spinning Print company trumpeting an amateur baseball extravaganza in Upstate New York. Measuring 21" x 28" and a bit yellowed with age, the posters are in very good shape. They read: "BASE BALL! BETWEEN WEBSTERS AND (no opponent listed) AT NINE-MILE POINT WEBSTER, N.Y. 3 1-2 MILES NORTH OF WEBSTER VILLAGE." SATURDAY (no date listed) 1900 AT 3 P.M. COME ONE! COME ALL! LADIES RESPECTFULLY INVITED." Each sheet is identical and features the Spinning Print name and union label at the bottom of the sheet. Webster, NY is a suburb of Rochester, in the Western area of the state. The broadsides have some minor tears here and there but are o/w EX+.
