There is some evidence that the Clayton Shoe Co. could have operated retails stores in the area. In any case, the jersey is size 42 from Wilson, and the pants, size 34. The jersey and pants show use and generally are in excellent condition. The right knee and upper left leg of the pants have undergone small repairs. The size of the shoes is not shown; the upper part is ex-m. Winning Bid $35.     Back to List        Winning Bid  $35 Back to List
