My dad had a nice little find of early VMI sports items at an estate sale this past weekend. The group included 2 football sweaters, 1 with Thirty Seven embroidered into it, a trophy ball from a 1937 football game between VMI and South Carolina, 2 early Goldsmith soccer balls (1 looks nearly unused), an early Reach Glove, 3 early field hockey sticks, an early hockey stick, and the last item we are not really sure what it is, it is about a 6 foot long staff with arrow shaped top that has a pennant with felt lettering reading PILOT on it. Since VMI is a military school, my dad's guess was that this was used as a parade flag?
Anyone have any ideas about the age of the Reach glove? Also what would you call this type of glove?
thanks
Keith
