Nosing thru the glove files

Postby softball66 » November 12th, 2009, 9:31 am

Found this old folder that included photocopy ads of some of the smaller glove and sporting goods companies and some retail stores
1. Honus Wagner Sporting Goods Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. had shot of Honus sitting on his bat. Advertises a Wagner League ball guaranteed for 18 innings.
2. Macy's selling a complete 5 piece rookie "Big League" Baseball Uniform
3. Davega Sporting Goods of New York city. Advertising, amongh others, a Duke Snider Playmaker for $5.94.
4. Newman-Stern Co of Cleveland. This was owned by Paul Newman's family. The ad features a tie-in ad with Wilson Sporting Goods, "grown up together."
5. Gateway Sporting Goods Co, Kansas City, Mo. Selling gloves for Joe Marty, a Bill Doak, Zeke Bonura, "Gabby Hartnett."
6. Frederick A. Field, Des Moines, Iowa promoting Ted Kennedy's "League Backstop Glove...with adjustable thumb." Price, $10.00 and ask (these catchers) among others: Buck Ewing, Jack Boyle, Will Robinson, Connie Mack.
We glovers run across some of these names from time to time. Seems like there was a Newman Stern Mickey Mantle glove someone found years ago.

Great stuff Joe. Would love to see it. I can put them in the Library if you want.
