Looking for information - 1951-52 Carl Erskine Dodgers Jersey

[TFig27]

Just looking for any information about this Carl Erskine jersey I just picked up. From what I read, I believe this jersey was made in anticipation of the 1951 World Series and then carried over into the 1952 season.
Does anybody have any examples of other Dodgers jerseys like this?
Also, where was the Dodgers minor league team that would receive these jerseys after? As there was a number change from Erkine's 17 to a 59.
The pants came with it but I believe they were probably used in minor leagues.

Let me know if you have any information.

Always appreciated
Tom

The tagging indicates 1951 - (set) 2.

Is there any evidence of the 1951 NL 75th Anniversary patch (diamond shaped) having once been on the left sleeve?

Nice to see a fellow board member got that jersey. I was going to bid, but it went a little higher than I was comfortable with at the end. I found it a couple of hours before the end and I was trying to help my daughter with her home work, so I couldn't do any real research.

I was trying to photomatch the jersey by the buttons and how the letters lined up. I found a few close, but nothing for sure.

Take a poke around Ebay, there was a Baseball Digest (if I remember correctly) with him on the cover. The picture was not good enough to try and match, but it may be worth the $10 or so investment to have the magazine in hand to see the cover photo better.

Either way, really nice pickup! Please let us know what you do find out and if you can find any photomatches.

Here's an old thread about 51 Dodgers jerseys. If you have access to old articles from Mears, Dave Grob wrote an informative article about this subject.

Thanks for the replies!

I'm not seeing any remnants of a 1951 patch on the sleeve.
