Joe, as a Kansas collector I would love to add this to my collection if you decide to sell it. I'll let the other guys value you it as these pieces can vary quite a bit. Even though the mount isn't in the greatest shape the photo is still very nice. This is a great find. Thanks for sharing. |

That's a great photo...I like the guy in the building who's looking out the window. |

Yeah, That is great. I liked the coaches dress, as well. Does that look "Wild West", or what! |

Clearly, there is an Inflatable Chest Protector pictured. Look closely, and you'll see the valve on the lower-right side. This is an amazing photo, and the Inflatable Chest Protector/Uniforms date it closer to the 1910 time period... just a bit more recent than indicated in the initial post. |

Yea, Mark is correct on the dating. Its early 20th century. At first glance I thought 1890s but closer examination of the equipment indicates its later. Not only is there an inflatable chest protector, one of the bats also has a mushroom handle. I always like seeing these unusual styles of equipment in these photos. Reaffirms the fact that they are not just novelty pieces sought by collectors but were actually the "tools of the trade" back in the day. |

Yes. Using a magnifying glass, I can make out some of them. They appear to be the player's number. The player in the extreme upper left corner has the number "14", the player in the extreme lower left corner has the number "8", the player to his right has the number "9", and the player behind the chest protector has the number "11". The player to the right of him appears to have the number "10", but I'm not completely sure. |
