Up for sale is a true rarity....a tintytpe depicting 3 men: one of which is holding a ping pong paddle and another holding both a paddle and ball.

Table Tennis originated in England in 1860's/1870's. Purportedly, it did not arrive in the States until the early 1880's but this photograph -- which was found with a group of other American Photos may disprove that.  This tintype dates from the very early days of the sport. I performed some very broad internet searches and couldn't find any photos remotely closely to this one in date.  It is in great many respects an origin photo - Think Cartwright or Doubleday with a bat, Naismith with a peach baskets
