Lot Details

Lot 1009
[BASEBALL] Team photograph of the North Philadelphia Hebrew Association, 1927.
Vintage photograph depicting twenty-one members of the team, coaches and a bat boy, titled in the negative "North Phila Hebrew Asso. 1927. Phila. PA." Signed in the negative by the photographer "Dan E Paul Photo/Phila. Pa", the photographers name also on the mount. Overall 9 1/2 x 15 inches (24 x 39 cm); framed. Well preserved, some spotting within the frame, likely to the glass only, unexamined out of frame.
A fine and interesting photograph of an unidentified Jewish baseball team. Most players here wear uniforms with "NPHA" across the chest and American flags to the arms, one player wears a uniform with "Merrill" across the chest, and the coaches wear sweaters with an "M" and a star of David on the pocket. At center a manager wears a military style uniform. Such photographs of Jewish baseball teams are scarce and this is certainly worthy of further research.
