CIRCA EARLY 1900S "REEDED" BASEBALL CHEST PROTECTOR- ADULT MODEL!! L@@K

Description

OFFERED HERE IS A ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE BASEBALL CHEST PROTECTOR. THIS IS A VERY RARE AND UNUSUAL ANTIQUE PROTECTOR IN THAT IT HAS WOODEN DOWELS GOING DOWN THE CENTER. THESE WERE
PRODUCED FROM 1902 TO THE 1920'S
BUT MOST WERE SOLD EARLY ON IN THE 1900'S.
I HAVE EVERY CHEST PROTECTOR KNOWN (I THINK) AND ONLY SEEN TWO OF THESE THAT WERE ADULT MODELS. I HAVE HAD A FEW YOUTH MODELS BUT THEY DIFFER IN THE WAY THE PATERN IS MADE. THE
ADULT MODELS CHANGE PATTERN DIRECTION
WHEN IT GETS TO THE BOTTOM PART AND THE YOUTH KEEP THE SAME PATTERN DIRECTION OVER THE ENTIRE PROTECTOR. THERE WERE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS MADE AND OF COURSE DIFFERENT MAKERS. I
CANNOT MAKE OUT THE MAKER IN THIS ONE
BUT ON ONE SIDE YOU CAN SEE THE LOGO WHICH I DO NOT RECOGNIZE AND THE OTHER SIDE HAS A MODEL NUMBER OF "
150 F
".
THIS ANTIQUE
BASEBALL CHEST PROTECTOR EQUIPMENT TYPE IS CALLED A "REEDED MODEL
" BECAUSE THE WOODEN DOWELS WERE CALLED REEDS. THIS IS AN ADULT MODEL MEASURING APPROX. 24 INCHES TO THE VERY TOP OF PROTECTOR (
NOT TOP OF STRAP
) TO THE BOTTOM. SOME PEOPLE WANT A MEASUREMENT TO TOP STRAP TO THE BOTTOM OF PROTECTOR AND THAT MEASUREMENT IS 32 INCHES. IT IS 17 INCHES WIDE FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND HAS
ALL ORIGINAL STRAPS AND BUCKLES
. NO RIPS, TEARS OR INK ANYWHERE ON PROTECTOR! THE PROTECTO GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS WITH ALL ORIGINAL STRAPS, ORIIGNAL IN TACT PIPING AND ORIGINAL STAMPED LOGO ALTHOUGH HARD TO READ EXACT MAKER. THIS IS WELL
OVER 100 YEARS OLD SO DOES HAVE DIRT AND SOME STAINS
PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR CONDITION.
AGAIN, THE REEDED OR DOWEL PORTION OF THIS PROTECTOR HAS THREE WOODEN DOWELS GOING DOWN CENTER
OF PROTECTOR AND NO WHERE ELSE. THE REST OF PROTECTOR IS CANVASS WITH LEATHER PIPING. I HAVE INCLUDED A COPY OF A REACH "REEDED" ADVERTISEMENT IN THE LAST PHOTO OF A CHEST PROTECTOR AND AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE YOUTH AND ADULT HAVE DIFFERENT PATTERNS TO SEPARATE THEM APART FROM EACH OTHER.
