Baseball Gloves

Holman's Spring and Summer Catalog, No. 38, 1926. Image depicts page 109, showing baseball and fishing equipment. These are pictures of baseball gloves and equipment from the 1926 Holman's Catalog. Baseball gloves have changed a lot since back then; now, we have different colours and different shapes. Back then, a normal glove would be hard to use because you would have to make fist when the ball was coming; a fielder's glove looked like a glove you'd wear in the winter.

Hockey Equipment

Studio portrait of the Abegweit Hockey Team Island Champions, 1898-1899. Several members can be seen holding hockey sticks and one member appears to be wearing goalie pads.This is a picture of an Island champion hockey team. The skates they wore were sold in the general store. The skates weren't that safe because there was no ankle support. I wouldn't want to be a goalie, because there was very little padding in the equipment.
