Peerless-Banner F-15 Baseball Glove

Banner was the trademark brand of athletic equipment for the Peerless Sporting goods Co., a retail distributor business, located at 513 Broadway N.Y.C. There is little known about the company, and catalog information is not available. The Peerless Sporting Goods Co. operated in the 1920's until about the 1940s when at some point they became the Peerless brand name for the Olympic Sporting Goods Co. Athletic equipment distributed with the Banner and Peerless brands were manufactured by major companies. Baseball bats were made by Louisville Slugger. Baseball gloves were made by goldsmith and Wilson.

This Peerless Sporting Goods Co., Junior League Model F-15 fielders glove was manufactured by Wilson Sports Equipment; as evident by the "Greased Set Pocket Genuine Horsehide" stamp that was only used by Wilson from about 1937-1952. Wilson also made the same style Junior League Baseball glove in 1937 for Sears, J.C. Higgins brand.

Baseball gloves manufactured by Goldsmith feature "-A- Peerless Product" stamp, a term used by Goldsmith (-A- Goldsmith Product) from 1934 -1939. This stamp was used on both Peerless Sporting Goods - Banner brand, and Olympic Sporting Goods - Peerless brand baseball gloves. The top of both brands logo reads "Seal Of Super Quality" and NYC at the bottom. The Peerless Sporting Goods Co. Logo reads "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." at the very bottom.
