This is a wonderful circa 1880 football tintype of two teammates I
have yet to identify, and is one of our two favorite early football tintypes (see August 11, 2013 post for the other).
It is roughly a 6th plate, measuring
approximately 3 1/2”x 2 1/2”.
Football tintypes are quite difficult to find, and more likely
to be from the 1890s. Tintypes that are
pre 1890 are exceedingly rare.
