Not sure what I have here
« on: February 25, 2019, 05:04:18 AM »
Gents,  I bought a bunch of Civil War and Indian war items at a estate sale and these where included.  Any ideas on these pieces?
Best regards,
  Bob

One item appears to be a Confederate baseball glove. I’m not too sure about the other thing.

Well, as has previously been noted, one item is a Confederate baseball glove.  I believe the two other leather items are horse blinders for a harness.  Some blinders had buckles in these same locations and embellished with brass or silver.

Look just like the horse blinders the Amish here use on their buggies.
