1904 Bridgeport Athletic Manufacturing Co. Tennis and Golf Catalogue
Here we have the first annual catalogue of the newly formed Bridgeport Athletic Manufacturing Co. Within there is an announcement that the new corporation purchased the entire stock of Golf and Tennis from the Bridegeport Gun Implement Co. It was their intention to improve the golf and tennis line and add a full line of general athletic and sporting goods.
The first 62 pages are devoted to tennis goods and championship results and rules. Then follows a 58-page section on golf. The golf section contains a catalogue of Mills Aluminum Clubs and B.G.I. clubs , bags, balls and sundries.
There are outstanding photos in the Golf section to include a photo of new amateur champion Walter Travis taken at Pinehurst, close up photos of the Sprague patent adjustable putter and the Haskell and Wizard bramble balls. Following the catalog section, the rules of golf in 1902 are presented. A scarce early golf catalog with great content in very good condition
