Early Football Equipment, Sweaters, and Jerseys
Early 1920's Army - West Point Football Heavy Wool Football Letterman's Sweater.  This sweater hails from the estate of Army Football Player Walter White, who was in the Class of 1923 at West Point.  This is a heavy wool sweater with a large gray A on it, with a yellow start beneath.  There are no makers tagging present in the jersey, nor are there any size markings, but this is a larger size sweater.  The sweater has a shoulder to hem measurement of 28 inches, as armpit to armpit measurement of 22.5 inches, and a sleeve length of 20.5 inches.  The sweater is in excellent condition with no rips or stains.  I show a portion of a 1923 Army Navy football game program above to show the same style of sweater being worn.  This phenomenal sweater would be a great addition to either a football or militaria collection. Sold.	Very Scarce Late 19th century Victor's Special Batwing Style Noseguard.   This batwing has had its cheek extending areas carved down by its original owner, as can be seen on its underside.  This rare noseguard features Victor Special, and Victor Sporting Goods markings on its lower front.   Why the original wearer of this batwing decided to shave down its sides will remain a mystery, but perhaps he found the wider cheek protection embarrassing, or was mocked by his teammates or opponents; this is all speculation of course.  With this modification, this batwing will serve as a more affordable version of this rare style of early football relic. $900.00	Late 19th century Morril's Noseguard.  The noseguard retains its original head band, and is in very nice condition with the initials SS lightly carved into its forehead region.  A nice example of this 19th century football relic. Sold.

There is no size marking, but these are a very large pair of pants, and their condition is flawless. Sold.	Circa 1915-20 Leather with wool padding Football Shoulder Pads.  This pair has no makers mark (only a numeric marking), however I had two identical sets from the same estate, the other of which had Thos. E. Wilson embossed markings.  I am not sure if those markings wore away on this set, or for some reason were never present.  There is some minor discoloration present on some areas of the leather, but overall they are in very nice condition, retaining the original lacing and straps.

INV#0828 Sold.	Circa 1905 Spalding Yale University Heavy Knit Wool Turtleneck Football Sweater.  This beauty features a cloth sewn in Spalding tag at its interior bottom, and has a large Yale Y sewn to the chest.  The sweater is made of a very thick heavy wool, and does have a few holes present, as well as some fraying at one area at the end of the left arm (at the wrist area).  These defects are minor, and do not detract from the beautiful display quality of this sweater.   This great sweater came from the estate of a 1908 Yale University graduate. Turtleneck football sweaters are exceedingly rare, and this rarity would undoubtedly make a fabulous addition to any advanced football or Yale collection. Sold.	Circa 1930 Mitchell & Ness Made Full Football Uniform including Cherry Red Wool Football Sweater Jersey.  Mitchell & Ness got their start in Philadelphia making baseball and football uniforms for local colleges in the late 1920's.  The color of this jersey, as well as the Mitchell & Ness tagging, makes it a strong possibility that this is a Temple University jersey.  Both the sweater and pants have Mitchell & Ness cloth tagging.  The sweater is a beauty, with double reinforced elbow and shoulder areas, and white 4's on the chest and back.  The jersey is in beautiful condition with no rips, tears, or mothholes, and it is a size 40.  The pants have hard padding in the thigh areas, and soft padding over the knees, and are a size 30.  Football uniforms from this time frame don't show up often, let alone in this condition, and this Mitchell & Ness uniform has fabulous display appeal.  Sold.

Nelson, who was an end for the 1901 University of Pennsylvania varsity team.  The jersey was likely used in 1900 by Nelson, while playing for the class of 1903 team.   The sweater does have a holes to the wool, with one where the turtleneck meets the sweater at the left side,  a tiny one in the turtleneck itself, and a larger hole on the back area of the sweater.  These defects do not detract from the beauty of this early football relic, and these early turtleneck style sweaters are very hard to find.

Sold.
Circa 1920's Goldsmith Brand Football Shoulder Pads.  These early pads features a Goldsmith mark present, and the model number 37 as well.  There is a players number 19 identified on the underside of the pads.  Great looking 1920's football pads. Sold.	Circa 1922 to 1924 Pottsville Maroons Star Barney Wentz's Penn State Game Worn Football Sweater Photomatched in Accompanying Oversized Framed Photograph of Wentz shown wearing the same sweater.  This amazing pairing originated from the Barney Wentz estate.  This heavy wool sweater is very well made, and is composed of navy blue wool, with a white Penn State S on the chest.  The sweater also has a sewn in Brine tag in the tail area.  The large photograph of Wentz is housed in its original frame measuring 20.75 inches tall by 11.75 inches wide, and shows Wentz in the offered sweater.  The photo has fantastic clarity, showing the detail of his early style football pants, and square leather studded cleats.  Although tough to capture with my photography (the details are much easier to see in person), specific details of the sweater and photograph match perfectly.  Just to the left of the upper tail of the S is a single white wool stitch that lies away from the rest of the white wool.  This small area can be seen matching in the photograph and sweater.  Another matching detail occurs at the inside of the bottom loop of the S (at about 4 o'clock).  At this spot, the white wool has a raised, possibly reinforced area of stitching, and this raised area can also be seen in the photograph.  Barney Wentz played with Penn State in the early 1920's, leading them to a Rose Bowl victory in 1923.  After his time at Penn State, he played professionally in the NFL with the Pottsville Maroons, where he starred as a ball carrier.  He actually led the Maroons with 10 Touchdowns during their 1926, and scored 2 Touchdowns in their 1925 Title Game against the Chicago Cardinals (a Championship that was later stripped).  A superb football sweater from an early College and Professional football star. Sold.	Circa 1900 Full Football Uniform Including Turtleneck Sweater and Reeded and Quilted Football Pants.  This attractive early football ensemble was discovered in the Carlisle, Pennsylvania area, and could possibly have been donned by a Carlisle Indian School gridiron combatant.  The turtleneck sweater is composed of black wool, with brown striping.  The sweater has had custom homemade internal shoulder pads constructed internally (consisting of socks it appears).  The pants feature quilted padding in the hip and knee areas, with reeded padding atop the thigh areas.  The pants also feature a homemade padding in the top back of the pants featuring what appears to be a 19th century afghan sewn into the interior of the pants.  The two homemade padding additions really accentuate the brutality of the early days of football.  There are no maker's tags on either portion of the uniform.  A very attractive turn of the century football uniform. Sold.
Rare 1905 Wilcox Removable Mouthpiece Style Penna Guard Brand Football Nose Mask Noseguard.  This rare style noseguard, features the removable mouthpiece, which freely moves within this noseguard.  This innovation was patented in 1905, and started to be used in the Penna Guard nosemask that same year, followed by being incorporated into Morrill brand noseguards the following year in 1906.  This noseguard is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or engraving, and retains its original elastic strap.  The strap on this nosemask also features a button snap closure at the middle of its length.  The nosemask has the 1905 patent date on its front bottom, and has Penna Guard on its forehead area.  The Penna Guard version of this nosemask is much more difficult to find than its Morrill counterpart, and this is a fabulous example Sold.	Circa 1921 James Brine Brand Harvard Football Sweater.  This great sweater features heavy black wool, with a red H on the chest.  The sweater features a James Brine sewn tag on the bottom area of the sweater.  In addition to the Brine tag, a small name tag is sewn in the neck area, with the tag reading:  Philip F. Coburn.  The "H Book of Harvard Athletics" lists a Philip Fairbairn Coburn as a member of the 1921 Football team, and a member of the 1923 Harvard class.  The Coburn tag is partially detached but still hanging on and thankfully it has survived.  A great early relic of Harvard football history. Sold.	Beautiful Circa 1920's Spalding Brand Orange and Black Football Jersey.  This jersey features an attractive gothic style P on its chest with black and orange striping down each sleeve.  The jersey has a Spalding tag in its tail, that dates the jersey from the 1914 to Late 1920's time period.  The number 28 decorates the back of the jersey and there are reinforced areas on each elbow.  The jersey is in very strong condition, with bright colors, but does have the occasional period repair or mild tear.  The team represented by the P will likely remain a mystery; I cannot find images of Princeton wearing this style of gothic P during the jersey's time frame.  The professional football team of Youngstown Ohio, the Youngstown Patricians, were known to wear jersey's with similar gothic P decoration, but I believe the wore a different color combination.  The jersey has the following measurements: Arm Pit to Arm Pit measurement of 18.5 inches, a Shoulder to Hem measurement of 29 inches, and a Sleeve measurement of 23 inches.  This is a just a fantastic looking early Spalding football jersey. Sold.
1940's College Football Satin Black and White Striped Referee Jacket.  This jacket hails from the estate of Tom Sproule, who following his time as a Bombardier in the South Pacific in WWII, refereed both College Football and Basketball in the 1940's through the 1950's.  The jacket has a sewn in name tag as well as a size 44 tag.  The jacket exhibits some minor discoloration (mainly on its back) but it has not been cleaned.  A great looking early football referee jacket.

Very Rare 1916 Patent Date Spalding Brand Reeded Football Shoulder Pads.  These reeded style pads rarely ever show up in the hobby, and likely weren't a popular seller.  They show up in Spalding catalogs in 1923, through the 1920's.  Catalogs detail these pads as model 23, and describe the reeded padding as "hollow protecting strips to permit flexibility."  These pads features some leather loss on one side, and missing area of felt on the underside as well.  Despite these flaws, these rare pads would make an outstanding addition to any early football collection.

	Circa 1946 to 1952 Philadelphia Eagles Vic Sears Game Worn Football Jersey.  Vic Sears was a dominant 2 way player for the Eagles, playing both offensive and defensive tackle, and was a member of both the 1948 and 1949 Philadelphia Eagles Championship teams.  Sears was named as a member of the 1940's All Decade team by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  The jersey features both Mitchell & Ness and Macgregor Goldsmith tagging on the inside of the crotch strap.  This jersey was originally sold by Hunt Auctions, and was part of a group of Eagles jerseys discovered in the belongings of a Philadelphia area boys' club manager, as the jerseys were handed down to the boys club team by the Eagles.  The jersey is a white durene jersey with sewn on green numerals.  The jersey would have had two green stripes when used by the Eagles, but these were trimmed off at some point.  The jersey does exhibit a good amount of use with heavy team repairs present, and some tearing.  Early NFL game used jerseys are very hard to find, and this is a great example from a key member of the Philadelphia Eagles 1948 and 1949 championship teams. Sold.	Circa 1920's Draper & Maynard Brand Model 25 Leather Football Shoulder Pads.  The pads are in very nice condition retaining there straps, and the leather is in nice condition. Sold.
