Rare Treasures: Barclay and Bolin Jerseys

A Glimpse into Baseball’s Golden Era

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination quite like game-worn jerseys from the sport’s storied past. Among these cherished artifacts, the jerseys of Barclay and Bolin stand out as remarkable relics from a bygone era. Each jersey tells a unique story, woven into the fabric of baseball history.

The 1959 Barclay Jersey

The Barclay jersey, dating back to 1959, is a testament to the craftsmanship and style of its time. On the left front tail, the “McAuliffe” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by the year “59” and size “46” tags. Inside the rear collar, a felt strip tag bears the name “Barclay.” Across the front, the word “GIANTS” is emblazoned, while the player number “29” graces the back. All numbers and letters are meticulously crafted in black on orange felt.

This jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows light use. Such items are not only a piece of clothing but a piece of history, offering a tangible connection to the game as it was played over six decades ago.

The 1969 Bolin Jersey

Fast forward a decade, and we find the Bolin jersey from 1969, another gem in the world of sports memorabilia. On the left front tail, the “Goodman” tag is visible, with “Bolin 46/4 1969” embroidered in black chain stitch on a grey flannel swatch. The front proudly displays “SAN FRANCISCO,” while the back features the player number “42.” Like its predecessor, all numbers and letters are rendered in black on orange felt.

Adding to its historical significance, the left sleeve of the Bolin jersey once bore the “MLB 100TH Anniversary” patch, which has since been replaced with a replica. This jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. Other than the mentioned alterations, the jersey remains in its original state.
