Kid Elberfeld Wa. Field

Kid Elberfeld (1875 – 1944). He batted and threw right-handed. The card identifies him with the Washington Senators of the American League. His card presence in this catalog is on the T206 White Border tobacco issue, distributed by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. This catalog entry corresponds to the card listed as "Kid Elberfeld Wa. Field." Tobacco and caramel issues of this period circulated as advertising premiums rather than dedicated trading cards, and the subject's inclusion in the catalog reflects his standing within the rosters documented by the issuing manufacturers of the day.
