Kansas City became an industry hub in the Midwest. In 1895 there were two established sporting goods companies, Schemlzer's Arms and Elliot Arms. Both sold mainly hunting and outdoor gear and carried a small variety of sporting goods. By 1912, there were a dozen sporting goods concerns in Kansas City including the newly established Lowe And Campbell which would eventually be taken over by Wilson Sporting Goods in 1931. Elliott Arms was established in 1893 by R.S. Elliott and was kept as a family business till 1960. It is no wonder that hunting and advertizing Items show up regularly on ebay but baseball gloves not so much, partly because Elliot sold mainly major brands such as Goldsmith and Rawlings and only carried a few models under the Elliott house brand. There are none listed on JD's site.
Below is a page from a 1936 catalog. The gloves on the lower right are the Elliott house brand. The endorsed models include "Babe Newcomb", "Kit Grundy" and "Joe Henkel". Not exactly household names, in fact they are not found on historical major league rosters.
Below is a beautiful and mint "Babe Newcomb" model G54 with a blazing cloth patch. The glove reminds me a little of a Rawlings model because of the tapered wrist strap.
Below is a glove recently on ebay. It is a "Kit Grundy" model G52.
