Thanks in advance for your help with this.
My 103 year old grandmother passed recently. She had a terrific full life & we were all blessed to have her. :)

Her estate is being gone through right now. My grandfather owned a sporting good store for many years in MI. While helping sift through 100 years of "stuff" yesterday I came across 3 cool looking youth sports items that I am not real knowledgeable about.

What can you tell me about possible vintage & value if any?
Thanks!

The 1st item is a youth store model 1594-JD 8" left handed Joe DiMaggio "Yankee Clipper" mitt made by Hollander. It is in NM-MT condition. I believe that this mitt is probably from the 1960's, but don't know.

The 2nd item is a very small youth right handed mitt which is very soft and measures 6"-7". I don't see a manufacturer & don't have a clue as far as vintage although it appears old. Leather is soft and supple & has minimal use.

The 3rd and final item is a youth leather football measuring 8" with no markings.

Any help is most appreciated. :)

Glove #2 looks 1920's to me. Very clean if that's the case. Maybe 30's, but I'm looking at that strap and button and...I just think it looks a LOT like a glove I have that's 20's.

Also, you're correct on timeframe for the Joe D. glove...there are a few examples online. There's even one on eBay. Seller is asking 79.95 on it. Probably a little high. Another sold sometime back for $29.

Thanks Jim!

I agree with Jim's pricing. Glove #2 is an inexpensive low end youth model.

Thanks Joe! It looks like we have a decent consensus opinion.
I appreciate the help, guys!
