Lot #13:

1910 Era Gem Mint NOS Catcher’s Chest Protector

This is the exact style of protector as seen on all of the T cards from the turn of the century. There is a maker stamp in a circle on the top but is hard to read from fading as it was done in red ink. The protector itself remains as new having never ever been worn. If another of these exists in this condition after almost 100 years, we are not aware of it. If you are into vintage equipment and want the best condition example of an early chest protector to ever survive, this is probably your only chance.
