Fantastic lot of original 1910’s West New York, NJ Amateur Baseballplayer and team photographs; with players Identified in the various handwrittencaptions.The Lebanons / West New Yorks were a neighborhood LutheranLeague amateur team. The associated newspaper clippings provide moreinformation and player detail. These images are a fantastic window into thepast; and great New York / New Jersey baseball history.
The group consists of 1 RPPC and 8 snapshot photos. Thephotos are mounted (Front/Back) on three pieces of black scrapbook pages. One duplicateteam snapshot photo is loose. My main overview photo is created by combiningall the front scans to show all photos in one image. The individual pages withfront/back photos are listed below:
