Ratsch Peerless?
 

Posted By: <b>Shawn</b><p>Has anyone seen this before? I have searched and searched and have struck-out! Any help with value and such would be greatly appreciated. The booklet has 26 pages and I assume its from 1912 because of the Sox & Cubs schedule. I love The Ty Cobb article! I have included several scans, I just think it is really cool.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br />Shawn<br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/ratSmall.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/ratBs.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rat2s.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rat4b.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rat1s.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rat5s.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rattycobb.jpg"><br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/rat7b.jpg"><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>This is a valuable piece. The Ratsch Peerless "Duckweb" Gloves were very unusual and unique, and are considered a "Holy Grail" among Glove Collectors. <br /><br />It's neat that they devoted an entire page of the Catalog to the Duckweb. This is a rare Catalogue that would be highly prized by many vintage equipment collectors. Great pickup!

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I've not seen the booklet, but it's very cool. This postcard is somewhat well known amongst vintage baseball postcard collectors.<br /><br />This one sold in the 2007 REA auction for $470.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/auction/2008images/Item_9947_1.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Shawn</b><p>Hey guys, Thanks for the input! I would still love to find one that has sold or a link that references this booklet. Here is another article that is quite amazing. I cannot even believe that they would print something like this.<br /><br /> <img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/howbet.jpg">

I'll have to dig it out, and see how much of the content is the same<br /><br /><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/40/91310708_a304ca971d_o.jpg"><br /><br />Max
