The Faces of Slatington
Description
These are photos and postcards that I have collected over the years. Some are postcards; others are cartes de visite or cabinet cards. In most cases, I do not know the names of the people.

My guess is that this is a Slatington team because it looks like the site of the old baseball field, the "S" on the uniforms, and the other photos in the group were all from Slatington.
