Lot #262 - ca. 1914-1925 Philadelphia & Reading Baseball Team Uniform
Railroad companies once had: bands,
sports teams, choral groups and you name it. This is a Reading Company
baseball uniform. I'll try to show some construction detail. It has a
prominent "R" Keystone logo on the front. Some research indicates
that the labels on this uniform date it to 1914-1925. Please see: http://www.antiquesportscollector.com/TagsMain.html The shirt has "2-40 sewn in red
thread next to the label. The pants have 20-3x sewn in red thread. The
second number may be incomplete. The "R" Keystone logo is about 5
3/4" by 5 1/2" in size. The pants and shirt are both missing a
button or two. There is a replacement button on the shirt. The bottom of the
pants were cut-off. There are some real stains on the pants. A very unusual
item. I do not feel qualified to grade this item because people from the
sporting world may throw daggers at me. It is clearly authentic and very
unusual.
