Does Anyone Know Anything About Vintage Baseball Items - Bats/Gloves/Wool Jersey

[raiderguy10]

Does anyone have any information about these items? My dad is moving and he got them from my grandpa. He no longer wants them, but we don't really know anything about them. Do these items have any value?

The uniform is the best of the lot. Due to age and condition as shown it is worth about $200-300. The football helmet is next at $85 to 150. Maybe more if the paint can be removed. The bat and 2 gloves are in the $20 to $40.00 range each

I dont know a lot about football, but I would take the helmets over anything, value wise.

Murph is right on. The uniform Pre-dates everything else, and is by far the most desirable... Especially in that nice condition.

The gloves are not as early, and are common. The condition of the helmets renders them less valuable... I would say $75 - $100 for each (on a good day).

The uniform dates c. 1925-1935 per the tagging.

The glove is a 1b glove used into the 70's. Everyone seems to think the uniform is the best, but providence is the most important thing. The team doesn't ring any bell and in thinking a league that failed. Before MLB there were several leagues and an unwanted jersey from a one year league is not valuable. The helmets. Where did they come from? If they could be tied to major league football, or even a college, it might be worth more. Leather heads were not something people picked up. They were typically college and pro. Might be worth further inspection. Old means nothing. Mannings jersey from 3 weeks ago sold for almost 50k. I'd try and find the providence.

You mean 'provenance'?
