Corey- according to David Block's research, baseball actually predates rounders.

Fair, but I was referring to the "modern" version believed to substantially take shape in the 1840's.

The "Club" Bat was actually used much more recently than 12,500 BC. Here's a pennant that portrays its use well into the 1910s

Certainly not as grand as some of the early Base Ball items presented in this thread, but here are a few early Base Ball tickets in my personal collection.
Enjoy! BTW, congrats to those that contributed to this thread. Some of the items in your collection are amazing! ![]() |

Here's my earliest baseball, an 1870's early figure eight ball. Smaller and lighter than regulation baseballs, with a definite "dead ball" feel.

Everything posted in this thread is cool, but I really love this 1835 image of a batter.
My humble contribution is this cabinet featuring a very early catcher's mask. Like other items in this thread, this one has been owned by a few members, but I think it's found a long-term resting place:

While I'm not 100% certain this CDV dates from 1866, A.G. Spalding's book "America's National Game" and the Boone County Historical Society as combined sources suggest it would be. The Belvidere Il. Mystic BBC was formed on April 19, 1866 and lost to the Rockford Forest City BBC 123 - 8. After that loss the Mystic's merged with the Belvidere BBC and took the name Phoenix and played the Forest City BBC in 1867 losing 24 - 16.
