Re: nineteenth century uniform

Pietraynor, a few years ago you posted about a "handful of Lance Parrish posters". Do you by any chance still have any of them? I have been looking for a Tiger Catcher poster for years.

Re: nineteenth century uniform

college of missouri could be it! yeah i think its roughly from 1900 but maybe they added the COM later?

Re: nineteenth century uniform

I would think the uniform predates 1924. Probably dates to the 1890's up to about 1910. I had a similar pillbox cap that I know dated to 1907 because it was purchased with a dated team photo.

"College of Missouri"? Just a guess. Neat uniform & thanks for posting, always good to see these turn up. Jay.

Re: nineteenth century uniform

hmm, well it must be some sort of college or high school uniform. I guess its possible that the schedule has nothing to do with the origin of the uniform too.

Re: nineteenth century uniform

Found out that the 1924 schedule that was found with it is from St. Louis. I can assume that the jersey is from there as well. Anyone know how to find out minor league St. louis teams?

According to Baseball Reference.com the STL Cards only had one minor league affiliate in 1924. It was the Houston Buffaloes. Here is a link:

Re: nineteenth century uniform

I can't give a $$ amount, but the hat itself would sell for good money. Rare item.

Re: nineteenth century uniform

To me, it looks consistent to 1890s baseball uniforms.

Re: nineteenth century uniform

Amazing find ! That hat is very rare. Send me an email I can give you additional info.

Not sure if this is the right thread. My dad has this uniform that looks to be pre 1900. Was wondering if anyone has any info regarding this? What team is this? Value? etc.
thanks!
