Reeded Shin Guard help
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi guys,

I recently purchased a set of reeded shin guards and couldn't be happier, but I could use some help trying to identify the manufacturer. The image is faded, but hoping someone can help.

Thanks in advance!

I can't quite see the writing clearly enough. But based on the circular logo, my top 3 contenders would be...

Spalding
Honus Wagner
Lowe & Campbell

From what I can make out of the writing around the perimeter, I think I see an ampersand (&) sign. So that would favor either "Lowe & Campbell" or "Spalding & Bros."

Can you post a picture of the full Reeded Shin Guards? That might help, and perhaps someone else here with better eyesight can pin it down!

I could swear I see an Abe Lincoln looking face in that logo....:confused:

If you put water on the logo does it stand out any more?

Have you tried putting a piece of typing paper over the logo and taking the side of a pencil and lightly going over the logo to see if the words come out more clearly on the paper?

David,

I was hesitant about putting water on the leather knee caps, put I mat try the pencil and paper to see if comes out more legible.

Thank you
