Many thanks for the kind words. I've been fortunate to run into some pretty good luck of late as well as some really quality guys in the hobby open to working on trades and sales for 19th C. equipment.

My pursuit of interesting and quality items from the 19th century is moving ahead SLOWLY as the"good stuff" is either too elusive or expensive. Undeterred, I continue to look and these are my two latest pieces...

1. 1886 AJ Reach Sporting Goods Catalog (pics to follow)
2. 1887 AG Spalding Sporting Goods Co. invoice (pics to follow)

Really cool piece...an 1887 invoice for the sale of balls, catchers masks, score books, and gloves to an "official agent"of AG Spalding Sporting Goods in Newark NJ...

Amazing stuff! As someone just getting into 19th century history/collecting all I have to say is .

Since our April attendance at the SABR 19th Century Research Conference in Cooperstown we've added a few new pieces to the collection. Thought I might finally get around to posting and sharing them...

First item is a c. 1860's CDV of a ball player from the Baltimore area. Cursory research has yielded that his uniform is very, very similar to those worn by the Pastimes Amateur Athletic Club that fielded a ball team in Baltimore during the 1860's.

We'll have to do a bit more digging before we can connect him to a specific team, but regardless of identification, the CDV is fantastic piece of early base ball photography...
