Default Store model youth sports equipment expert help please

Thanks in advance for your help with this.
My 103 year old grandmother passed recently. She had a terrific full life & we were all blessed to have her.

Her estate is being gone through right now. My grandfather owned a sporting good store for many years in MI. While helping sift through 100 years of "stuff" yesterday I came across 3 cool looking youth sports items that I am not real knowledgeable about.

What can you tell me about possible vintage & value if any?
Thanks!

The 1st item is a youth store model 1594-JD 8" left handed Joe DiMaggio "Yankee Clipper" mitt made by Hollander. It is in NM-MT condition. I believe that this mitt is probably from the 1960's, but don't know.

The 2nd item is a very small youth right handed mitt which is very soft and measures 6"-7". I don't see a manufacturer & don't have a clue as far as vintage although it appears old. Leather is soft and supple & has minimal use.

The 3rd and final item is a youth leather football measuring 8" with no markings.

Any help is most appreciated.
