Draper & Maynard Co. Account Book
Below is an account book of A. F. Burtt, who worked for the Draper and Maynard Company in the 1890s. Burtt keeps track of the production of gloves, mitts, outseems, etc. including the cost and time starting with the year 1890. He also tracks his income from J. F. Draper. What is really cool about this is that A.F. Burtt invented a Catchers Mitt that was patented in 1895. Below, there is a photo of a page in the book that shows Burtt paying $20.00 for the patent on Nov. 9 1895! He also invented a Boxing Glove and Punching Bag... I am guessing there is about 100 pages where Burtt breaks down the individual operations and money for each step--cutting, stitching, welt, trimming, finishing, etc.

Also: "Bravo! One of the highlights of my life was seeing Mickey Mantle knock one over Charley Finley's 40-foot high chain llnk fence in right field onto Brooklyn Avenue. A mule in left field, sheep grazing on the hill in right, a secondhand scoreboard from Braves Field in Boston and a mechanical rabbit delivering new baseballs to the umpires...to a kid like me, it was Disneyland and I loved every minute of it." Great memories Rick! I never made it to a game at Municipal but old Charley sure knew how to spruce up a game. I also found this KC Paper in my stash from the first KC A's game in 1955. Sorry, could not fit the entire page in my scanner.
