1890s Oversized Cabinet Photo / Roller Polo Team

Found this nice photo up in Maine. May be the polo team from Bath. Oversized, measuring 13 1/2" x 10 3/4", without the mat; the largest polo photo I've found to date.

Unusual Turn Of The Century Photo Postcard / Roller Polo Team

Turn of the century photo postcard. Unknown whether the team was called Harrison's Polo Team, or if one of the players was named Harrison, as written on the back. This is one of the most unusual roller polo photos as the goalie's leg pads are riveted steel. I've never seen anything like this before.
