Hi Mark, It measures 4 1/2" wide by just about 8" long. I guess it could be a knee pad. Never thought about it as the elastic had seemed too loose. I actually just tried it on (probably weird but not the fist time putting on an old piece of equipment) and it is very loose. I guess the elastic could be worn/stretched out. It is odd that the elastic is sewn more to the upper side on the ends rather in the middle. My first though was football and something to do with shoulder pads but I just have never seen individual ones. I think your idea makes a lot more sense. Any guess on the time period. I was thinking 1910's/20's based on the little round Spalding logo. Thanks, Mike
