1913 Spalding Uniforms Reply to Thread
I only see one about once a year, the last was from the 1920s and it was really nice. They are more rare then catalogs and the tape adds some great history and display. The years I have see have been between 1890s-1940s and for some reason they seem to disappear after that, so they are a very unique item. My guess to why they stopped making them was that in the 1950s industry was on the rise and many manufacturers would visit the stores that carried the product so there was really no need for them any more. Everything changed after World War II and more salesman jobs were available so sporting goods companies focused on their customers bringing samples to them. Great item!
