Lots of great early equipment and in terrific shape considering the age...

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...

Great stuff Jon. The Reach catalog is in unbelievable conditon and full of great images, and I love the Spalding invoice. E.G. Koenig was a very big Sporting Goods retailer in the late 19thC and early 20thC in Newark. I have/had a glove, bat and uniform with their label.

I have taken a greater interest in 19thC paper and advertisig lately, but only started the hunt. (and Mike's 19thC postal covers thread has me jonesing for more). Picked up this Spalding card a couple weeks ago on ebay for a few bucks. (back and front scans below). Not terribly full of content like your invoice, but couldn't pass it up for price.
