The mantra for the MEARS August auction is we are going vintage. Once discarded after their service to kid's or semi-professional's teams was extinguished, most of the gridiron gear was discarded. Now we all realize the immense potential of vintage football equipment. For most, it allows an up-close look into the evolution of the sport. MEARS is proud to offer the following lot of football equipment, from a by-gone era of course. Each of the lots will feature a high quality wooden stand to aid in displaying.
Haling from the 1940s is this compilation of talent. Included are the following articles of memorabilia.
Size "44" cotton Lowe & Campbell Athletic Goods pullover jersey. The digits are crafted in single-color white tackle twill. Embedded sleeve striping is also featured. The inner tail includes a Lowe & Campbell Athletic Goods size tag. There is a material run on back. A few repairs are instituted.
