Baseball fashion of the "Deadball" era takes the stage, with this 1910 Sears, Roebuck & Co. "Play Ball!" baseball uniforms catalog. Published back in the day when you could get anything from a pen to a house from the good folks at Sears, this nicely preserved booklet makes a stunning impression, with a vibrant front cover illustration. As touted on the front, this antique catalog hosts fabric swatch samples, aimed at all levels of play. What really makes this crisp catalog a collecting joy, are endorsement photos of Hall of Famers Honus Wagner, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, and Hughie Jennings. Also noted are full page player illustrations, along with listings for gloves, balls, shoes, and equipment for other sports. The spine has been neatly repaired on the interior, and overall, this 4-1/2 x 6-1/2" catalog presents handsomely. Opening Bid $250.
