1888 Chicago Cubs African American Baseball Mascot Clarence Duval Cabinet Card For Sale

1890’s African American uniformed baseball mascot Clarence Duvall. Duvall was the mascot for the Chicago White Stockings in 1888. He also was a member of Spalding’s World Tour. I’m not sure of the team this cabinet was produced for. Duvall was known to barnstorm with other teams during his time in MLB. Whatever the team, the baton and uniform seem to be well produced. Duvall was noted for his mastery of the baton, even by Cap Anson. Little is known of his life past baseball. It was thought he died in the early 1890’s, but that has been proven incorrect. A little over 3 by 5 inch in size. Stains, toning and wear.
