Description: Rare and Important Jack Dunn 1903 NY Giants game worn uniform. Superb NY Giants home flannell worn by Jack Dunn in 1903, Spalding jersey retains orig. “New York” applied lettering with only slight edge wear. Spalding tag in collar remains intact , also has “Dunn” written in period ink in collar along with “(3)”. “Dunn” also chain stitched in red at base of tail on applied patch, shirt is missing its’ original detachable sleeve extensions. Pants are matching white with identical Spalding tag and “Warner” written in waist band (Jack Warner played for 1903 Giants). Pants have general light wear incl. some small stains. This uniform was obtained from a Factoryville, PA family who were related by marriage to Christy Mathewson. Mathewson would bring various uniforms and equipment to children during the off season including the offered uniform. Jack Dunn played in the Major Leagues from 1897-1904 with less then spectacular statistics. However, Dunn had an eye for talent and remained involved with baseball for many years discovering and grooming many star players including a young kid from Baltimore named Babe Ruth. The rarity of original unaltered Major League uniforms from the early 1900’s cannot be overstated given the fragility of materials and original limited supply, a worthy addition to any collection. Accompanied by a notarized letter from the family: EX-MT
