Old Baseballs and a Reach and D&M Mitt 1900's?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Picked these up over the weekend at an estate sale. There was a wright and ditson and mushroom bat there as well. I assume these are from the 1900-1920's? Any help would be appreciated. The catcher's mitt is a d&m and the other mitt is a reach.

It's a little hard to tell from the scan but it looks like the Reach glove has a Rainey web which would make it late 1920's, early 30's - looks to be a really nice piece. The D&M mitt is probably the same era.

Yes, Brett, I concur. The first thing that jumped out at me was the Rainey-web on the Reach glove. It looks like it could be cleaned up nicely, too. Great pick up!

The D&M is 1920’s – I have had similar gloves in the past and looking at my catalogs it maybe 1927 or 1928, decent find on these items Toby! I agree these could be cleaned up a bit
