Dating a pre-WWI bat, ball and catcher's mitt
I attempted to date these items about 7 years ago through this forum, and was only able to find a resource for the bat. I cannot find the dating info, but the person used the label to narrow it down to I believe, 1910-14. The catcher's mitt is a Horace Partridge and looks a little small, but maybe they were smaller then (presumably around 1910-20). I also have a beat-up ball that came with the other items - it has the pre-20's narrow red/blue stitching, but I'm wandering if I can assign a more narrow date range to it as well. Thanks.

For the mitt, Horace Partridge used that tagging in the early 1910's.

Sorry this took so long, and thanks for your help.
The mitt has now been dated to early 1910's, the bat (as I remember) to 1910-14, and the ball came with them: |

Looking at the type of thread used to stitch it (braided), and the size of the stitch, yes I think it's safe to say it dates between 1910-1920. Also looks like red/green? stitching? Possibly a Harwood ball, they sold a lot of recreational type of baseballs during that time period.
