ADDENDUM: The jersey style matches Cardinals minor league examples from the 1950s. The cap appears to be a 1951-52 St. Louis Cardinals MLB style.
Offered here is an impressive St. Louis Cardinals organization full uniform ensemble dating to the 1950s featuring an authentic jersey, pants, cap, belt, three pairs of stirrups, and wool socks. The vintage #25 Cardinals home flannel jersey (most likely from the minor leagues) is properly tagged by "Rawlings St. Louis" within the collar showing a size 44. "Cardinals" appears across the chest in classic red tackle twill lettering outlined in navy blue. The iconic red bird logos are perched upright on the black bat, indicating a post-1949 style. The button-down style, and the appearance of red piping along the shoulders, red sleeve ends and all the way down the front, is typical of a Cardinals minor league affiliate that used the same mascot name during the 1950s. A couple team repairs can be seen along the vertical red piping on the front. The large "25" on the reverse in red-on-blue felt numbers remains in outstanding condition. There is some minor spot soiling/staining, but overall the cream-colored jersey remains in excellent condition for being nearly 75 years old.
The matching Cardinals baseball pants have "SMREKAR" and "MACKIE" handwritten in the rear waistband, presumably the last names of two minor league players who wore them. The thick, cream-colored pants with red piping are tagged by "Rawlings St. Louis" in size 40 and show obvious signs of wear with areas of spot soiling/staining.
The dark blue St. Louis Cardinals cap has a red "STL" logo on the front and a green underbrim. It too is tagged by "Rawlings St. Louis" on the inner sweatband with a size "7-5/8" stamped. Based on its solid navy colors, the cap dates to the 1951 or 1952 MLB season worn with Cardinals road uniforms. Two pairs of red stirrups with red, white and blue stripes have "25" sewn on the bottoms tying them to the jersey. A third pair of stirrups in blue with yellow stripes is also included. Rounding out the ensemble is a brown leather belt (which has torn in two due to age) and a thick pair of wool leg-warmer socks that could only have been used in the coldest of baseball climates. An antique set of vintage game worn uniform items from one of baseball's most storied franchises.
