Barry, I've seen the Knickerbocker ball in the Smithsonian Baseball book...do you know was that an actual ball that was covered in gold or was it just a trophy? |

The earliest gloves I know about are the fingerless gloves. They resemble weightlifter gloves. There were earlier ones but I don't believe they can be distinguished from regular gloves. Here's a cabinet of the Draper Maynard factory. They made some of the first baseball mitts. I'll post another photo later of the gloves. |

Cool photo Clint. And what is laid out in the foreground? Are they trees? Looks a little like dead bodies in a civil war photo. |

Thanks guys. It's wood laid out in front. The roof reads Plymouth Buck Gloves. Here's a cover from 1884. It shows Arthur Irwin model gloves. Mastro sold a similar cover that had a fingerless glove on it. |

I bet those are rolled up cowhides in the photo for making the gloves. |

Robert Edward Auctions recently sold a bat that is attributed to George Wright, circa 1869, which would make it a pretty old "game used bat." |
