[BASEBALL]. Original International Photograph of the House of David Baseball Club with Their Managers, PSA Type I Authentic. [International, August 2, 1920]. Original black and white photo (7 ? x 9 ??) of the House of David team, with all players with their characteristic long hair and beards. Pencil and ink notes on verso, photo toned with a horizontal crease near the top and some wrinkling, light wear, soiling. Very good. The House of David was a religious community founded in 1903, and their barnstorming team raised funds and awareness of this religious sect. The House of David was an Israelite sect whose goal was reuniting the lost 12 tribes of Israel for the Millennium. Photos of this team are uncommon. Encapsulated by PSA, Type I Authentic. From the Mark Rucker Collection.
