Need help identifying brooklyn dodger bat bag

[vintagesportscollector]

I have a US Army WWII duffel bag, stamped with a soldiers name, that is virtually the same thing, with the eyelets. I think the Dodgers used this as a general duffel bag that could be used to store and transport just about anything - clothes, equipment, gear, etc..

That's awesome.

I'm hoping the 14-39-42 are player numbers.

That would be insane.

I'm not sure what they were used for . They are heavy duty so you really could carry anything . I was hoping a photo would surface with these pictured to solve the mystery

Not the same item, but perhaps the same stencil

I know it is crazy that there is nothing out there with these. WHo could I reach out to do you think in regards to finding out more information?

Just looked deeper....


This is DEFINITELY the Initials D.V

What could that be for?

Possibly Dazzy Vance? He wore 2 different uniform numbers for the Brooklyn Dodgers, #15 and #21 (which do not match any numbers on the bag) but if it were for him then this bag would then date to early to mid 1930s.

Dazzy is the only Dodger player with the initials DV. Could the 3 numbers be some sort of measurement for his uniform sizes etc...?

Who knows! That would be very cool though!

Peace, Mike

I thought that, too.....except we don't have a 14th month with 39 days (that I'm aware of).




It was a joke haha. Can't put one by you!
