Haworth’s – Jack Coombs, 1911 – The Chapman Deadball Collection

A Photographic Treasury of Baseball’s Deadball Era

Haworth’s – Jack Coombs, 1911

Jack Coombs appears in this 1911 postcard sponsored by a local Philadelphia camera store, Haworth’s, which specialized in Kodaks and also produced real photo postcards for customers as explained on the below advertising sample.

The only other known card from this set, Jack Lapp, is postmarked in October 1911 making it highly likely this set commemorated the A’s World Championship that year.
