Scarce 1930’s Bill Dickey Endorsed Chest Protector made by GoldSmith

Here we have a 1930’s Bill Dickey Endorsed Chest Protector. This unusual, vintage baseball chest protector was made by the GoldSmith Sporting Goods Company. It is a top of the line model and remains in solid, EX-MT condition. All of the original straps and buckles are intact and the markings are very nice. They feature the facsimile signature of Bill Dickey, hall of fame catcher for the New York Yankees. He played 17 seasons with the Yankees from 1928 to 1946. He was a member of the American League All-Star team 11 of those 17 seasons. He also played in eight World Series and was on the winning team seven times! An exceptional piece of vintage catcher's equipment!
