This is a fantastic early Michigan album most likely early 1920s/30's I do not know the exact town or city possibly the greater Flint area
Most of the photos are glued in some pages & some photos have fallen out a few pages have tears a minor old paper odor most likely from the black paper which is common
This is one family's album filled with great photos
Eight baseball player photos one is identif...ied as the 1912 local Evart (Michigan) baseball team
Two players are wearing the letter A on their jerseys I do not know town or area
The photo f what appears to be an Asian player 2nd from left is unidentifed it may be an RPPC
Five more are Buick Motors baseball team & is one of them famous?
The Buick Motors baseball players are equally rare
Three are snapshots the team photo is an RPPC printed upside down
Notice the photo with the roller coaster behind the player with ironically the word PHOTOGRAPH behind him
These early Buick baseball team photos are only getting harder to find
The most famous Buick player was Hazen Kiki Cuyler who went on to fame with the Pirates-Cubs-Reds & Brooklyn Dodgers
The jerseys say "25" I assume that's the year? I'm not sure but if so Hazen was in the majors by that year if it's not the year he could be in one or more of these photos
Two photos have photo album paper stuck to the top border
In the team photo the man in the suit to your left is wearing a badge & it's not often women were pictured with a team
These are fairly hi res scans your images are slightly smaller than an RPPC
Look at the other images...
The men it may be a fraternity or a baseball or football team who shaved their heads now there's a bunch of tough guys to be sure
They also hold a sign that says 555 in another photo no idea what that means
Great photo of Buell Bros Meats & Groceries
There's a young man with a six shooter
& look at those nicely cut out figures of photos
There are historic Flood & Hurricane damage photos
The Flint Spring Water Horse Drawn Carriage
A local barge scraping
Kodaks Sporting Store Athlete Goods
Two men holding papers that read "For Just Four Weeks California Will Offer You Her Gold"
Boys with their toy "rifles"
The list goes on & on
Over 425 photos especially the baseball snapshots
Great piece of history with dozens of rare images
