Ratsch Peerless?

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.

Thanks in advance.

This is a valuable piece. The Ratsch Peerless "Duckweb" Gloves were very unusual and unique, and are considered a "Holy Grail" among Glove Collectors.

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!

I've not seen the booklet, but it's very cool. This postcard is somewhat well known amongst vintage baseball postcard collectors.

This one sold in the 2007 REA auction for $470.

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.

I have a copy of a similar booklet with the same Evers photo, but it isn't from Ratsch Peerless. I'll have to dig it out, and see how much of the content is the same
