Catcher's mask and mitt help
Hey,
I hope this is the correct section to put this in. I recently acquired my grandfather's catchers mask and mitt. I'm looking to gather any info on these that I can. I know the condition isn't that great and I think they're from the 40's but that's about all I know. If someone more educated in the topic could help, that would be great, thanks! Andrew |

Hi-
They are actually both older than the 1940s. I believe they both date to the 1920s or maybe a little earlier. The glove's patch is missing, but maybe one of the experts here knows which company it could be from. The mask is probably more difficult to determine who made it. Very cool that these came from your grandfather! Alan |

I appreciate the help! That would be pretty cool if it were older. He definitely used them quite a bit, making it hard to identify now. I wish I could just ask him! |

Agreed, I would say 1920 too. Do you know about when your grandfather was born? Not much value, but priceless as a family heirloom. Very cool!

Thanks! I agree that there isn't much monetary value but it's really cool to now own. I need to find a way to display it. I'm not 100% sure but I believe he was born around 1921.

Very cool. I built this shadow box to house my glove and mask. I think yours would do well in something like this in my opinion.
