Antique 1887 Iowa Local Baseball Game Hand Bill Atlantic V. Red Oak June 17th

This vintage baseball handbill was distributed to advertise the details of a baseball game to potential spectators in Iowa in 1887. The Atlantic team met the Red Oak team for a game at ‘The Ball Park’ on June 17th of that year. Printed on peach colored paper in black ink, there is a page of the Bureau of Farming Commissioners Annual Report 1880 glued to the back of the handbill, likely for scrap booking purposes.
