The Cambridge Sporting Goods Corp. was
a distributor located at 625 Broadway,
New York, NY, sometime around the
1960's-1970's. They carried a full line
of sporting goods made by the major
manufactures but also carried a
Cambridge line of sporting goods that
were manufactured and privately branded
for them by other companies. Like this
baseball their baseball gloves were
imported from a Japanese manufacture.
In 1961 Cambridge, along with the A.J.
Hollander & co. Inc., and the Olympic
sporting Goods Co. were prosecuted by
the FTC because the gloves they were
importing from Japan had the names of
ballplayers that did not legally give
endorsements to use their names.
Pee Wee Reese was not named in the
lawsuit but it's a good bet that his
name on a ball made in Japan was not
authorized either. The sweet spot on
this ball features a "Pee Wee Reese"
facsimile signature, with the underline
word 'AUTOGRAPH'
below. Above the Pee Wee Reese
autograph reads "CUSHION CORK CENTER."
The north panel features the Cambridge
trademark logo with the word "OFFICIAL"
below. The south specifications panel
reads; HORSEHIDE COVER, 5 oz, 9 in.,
YARN WOUND, NO. 550, JAPAN.
