1920 Spalding Catalog- yep, another catalog
 
Posted By: <b>Chris Ahart</b><p>A friend of mine picked this up &amp; had a question as to its value. <br><br>Front cover<br><br><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/cygnusblue/scan0037.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br>Back cover<br><br><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/cygnusblue/scan0038.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br>Copyright page<br><br><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/cygnusblue/scan0039.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br>I never had a chance to flip through one of these before &amp; I have to say it is amazing. Everything is represented, baseball, football, boxing, figure skating, exercise equipment, you name it. Interesting to see the evolution of equipment.

Posted By: <b>Chris Ahart</b><p>I will let my friend know your opinion of its value. I keep flipping through it and finding the most interesting items. Many pieces are very similar to modern day equipment while others, like the basketball hoop &amp; net with the bottom of the netting NOT cut out, are a bit distant in similarity. The chest exerciser is surprising to me as it is basically an early version of the cable machines you will see in gyms today.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Basketball was a relatively new sport in 1920, and not that popular. Baseball already had a long tradition by that time.

Posted By: <b>Jimmy</b><p>I agree with Barry 150-200, I have been able to pick up a few recently for 75.00-100, but generally with these catalogs they are hard to find and value and prices in the past have been in that range stated above.<br><br>Jimmy<br>
