July 24, 1869
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, July 24, 1869 The prime print is the nearly half page showing: 'Presentation of a Champion Bat to the 'Red Stocking' Base-Ball Club, Cincinnati' with the bat being about 20 ft. long. The print shows the team in uniform as well. A related article is on the same page, carrying over to the next.
Various other unrelated prints in this issue.
Sixteen pages, the paper is somewhat fragile with chipping at some margin, more so to the front leaf. Margin tears as well. Fortunately the baseball print and article are unaffected.
