Picked these up a week ago out of an antiques mall...Can anyone find them in a Wright and Ditson catalog?...

According to a story on the Wright and Ditson company written by Chris Hornung of AntiqueFootball.com...at least some, if not all, Wright and Ditson products were labeled “Victor Wright and Ditson” after 1918...so these are likely pre 1918...which is amazing considering how soft and supple the leather is...they must have been stored in a trunk since then...

Here is a page from the 1907 W&D catalog...showing your exact #2 and #3 chest protectors side-by-side. Nice pickup! I used to have a Spalding fencing protector, which was identical.
