Pictures still coming out great. I love those cabinets you have the vintage equipment in. Overall an outstanding vintage look.

WOW... Killer displays, Eric... very elegant and classy!

I love the Thayer Mask and those ancient Chest Protectors. Beautifully displayed, too.... and that Duckweb glove ain't half-bad either.

Now it looks like there's still some room on that very bottom shelf of the last Cabinet.... better get busy on that!

[estaples]

Haha...thanks for the compliments guys. You have some killer stuff too...especially Mark, I have some of your stuff...half my collection probably lol

And yes Mark, I need a couple more stellar Spalding gloves/items...got any?? Anyone?? Haha. The inflatable CP is a Victor, along with most of that gear in that shadow box..and the cabinet with the early baseballs is all Victor and VWD gloves/mitts.

The bats aren't actually holding the chest open, but just displayed that way nicely I thought. Cool story with the Spalding axel tree and photos you see in the trunk...came from the same Maine estate and the bat is pictured in the photo...the two photos are of the same people, same weekend, one year later...date 1891 & '92.

The old cigar box on the top shelf of the square cabinet we found when my grandfather passed away when I was 7 yrs old....inside were a bunch of old important sports newspaper clippings, wheaties box cut-outs, and ten 1934-36 pop-out cards...my cousin and I split everything...that's what got me started in collecting cards when I was a kid and eventually to all this...now I'm hunting down the sig model gloves to put next to the cards of each player, a little of his passion with mine...got 3 of the 5 so far lol

The cabinets I was able to find at local antique shops, and all match pretty nicely...two even coincidentally use the same key...was lucky with that one!! The bat rack, shadow boxes, picture frames...all made by my father...I'm very fortunate to have a super handy father that way..makes the stuff more meaningful to me also. Again, hope all enjoy. Anyone is welcome to email and chat anytime... glovejunkie@yahoo.com

Mark I need more stuff...but can't afford it...what the hell do I do??

I love the circular display cabinets! I have wanted one for a while but they are expensive to say the least. Nice material as well

Eric
Who made the flame burned bat in the middle of the bat rack ?

[estaples]

Bob, the cabinet are actually Curio cabinets, for china I think?? I picked those up for about $200 each and the square one with glass all round was about double that. Pretty descent price to pay for a good way to display some old vintage equipment...figured why not in some cabinets/furniture about the same era and had the same "look" I wanted. Don't ever break the round glass though..might as well just scrap the whole cabinet

Matt, ahhhhh, that bat, how I loved that beauty....it is a killer Brine Knights of Columbus example, that yup came from Mark several years ago now...however just a couple months ago I lent it to the KofC museum in New Haven, CT...along with a beautiful matching Brine KofC full web glove I got from John P. a little while back. Anyway...figured they were in the best spot they could be anyway, so let them keep them...gone to humanity forever!!

Anyone got a banana bat or something cool I could fill the spot with??

+1. Magnificent displays. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing all your photos, and I love those cabinets too. Thanks for sharing.

Great rooms! It's a dream of mine to have a man cave of my own one day. I love looking at everyone else's to give me an idea of what I'd like to do with mine once I have one.

Love seeing all the rooms... here's my contribution. A work in progress, but coming together a little bit.

The Catcher on the wall is AWESOME!

[vintagesportscollector]

A lot of awesome stuff! I love the bat-a-ball. It looks like a really comfortable space. Thanks for sharing.

[yankeesjetsfan]

What an awesome room!

Hey, Jared! I like the vintage look of the bat hanger. What is it, where'd you get it, etc.?

[kickstand19]

I found the bat hangers on eBay unfinished. I just painted them black and distressed them with fine sandpaper.

Here are a couple more photos of the other areas.

Thanks again for the comments! With four kids, making it fun and functional was one of my goals. It's really cool when they tell their buddies about the different pieces.

This thread has been awesome! Gained so many ideas from all the different rooms.
