Empire Sporting Goods has been around for almost 100 years.

They used to sell those in the Cosby sporting goods store in Madison Square Garden and through mail order back in the 1980's. There was a NY Giants, Phillies, Braves, etc. They looked close to, but not exactly like ones from the 1940's. Sometimes I see auction houses trying to sell them as originals. Since they have been around for more than 20 years they will have some honest age on them and can be passed off as souvenir jerseys, sometimes mistakenly, sometimes dishonestly.

Here's an 1988 ad from a retailer called American Sports Collectibles. You can see the variety that was made. At $42.95, they weren't cheap.
