Looks a lot like the ones my great grandpa patented as Armor for Baseball Players in 1908. He later said he couldn't afford to enforce the patent against copycats, however, so he sold the patent for a relative pittance to either Rawlings or Spalding (I can't remember which). Which is why I am not rich.
