"Not Onto It," Charlie Ferguson, Pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies, 1887

"Not Onto It," Charlie Ferguson, Pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies, 1887
One in a series of baseball-themed advertising trade cards published in 1887 by Tobin, this card featured a caricature of Charlie Ferguson, who was a well-regarded pitcher for the Philadelphia Quakers team. Sadly, it turned out that 1887 was the final season that Ferguson played--he died from typhoid fever in April 1888.

--------

"Philadelphia. 'Not Onto It.' (Ferguson.) Tobin N.Y."

"A. W. Schrader, manufacturer of all kinds of mineral waters, also bottler of lager and porter. Private families supplied at short notice. 726 and 728 Adams Ave., Scranton, Pa. Telephone connection."
