Frank T. Gilmore, Pitcher, Washington Nationals, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This 1887 "Old Judge" baseball card from the N172 series, featuring Frank T. Gilmore, pitcher for the Washington Nationals, was created by Goodwin & Company. The card features a sepia-toned portrait of Gilmore in his uniform, with the letter "W" prominently displayed on his chest, against a blurred background. This iconic card is a testament to the popularity of baseball and its players in 19th-century America, and is a prime example of a collectible trading card in the style of the late 1800s.
