DRAPER AND MAYNARD CO. FIND???

Posted By: Shawn

Below is an account book of A. F. Burtt, who worked for the Draper and Maynard Company in the 1890s. Burtt keeps track of the production of gloves, mitts, outseems the cost and time starting with the year 1890. He also tracks his income from J. F. Draper. What is really cool about this is that A.F. Burtt invented a Catchers Mitt that was patented in 1895. Below, there is a photo of a page in the book that shows Burtt paying $20.00 for the patent on Nov. 9 1895! He also invented a Boxing Glove and Punching Bag... I am guessing there is about 100 pages where Burtt breaks down the individual operations and money for each step--cutting, stitching,welt, trimming finishing etc.

Does anyone recognize the Glove?
Can anyone elaborate on the initials Burtt uses for the gloves?
Is there any sort of interest in this kind of thing?
