I bought it from a person that lives close by.  He said he attended a sports memorbelia auction a few years back around the Memphis area and bought this and a uniform with a signature and other things. I purchased this from him.  He told me the name of the people who owned the things and said they had been collecting for years.   I could probably facebook him and ask who owned this if that would help.

William, I really think you would have to see this one in person to be able to make a determination

There is not a label that I can find.  The material is like an old flour sack if your old enough to remember that or soft cotton liner.

In Ruth's lifetime, how likely was it to request an autograph on a uniform? Further, given where it was signed, I think it's a safe assumption, it was not a piece of clothing someone was wearing when it was signed (an item of opportunity). So how likely was it for someone to approach Babe Ruth with a pair of pants and ask for a signature?

You can also think of a little kid having his uniform with a plain shirt and striped pants going to yankee stadium and taking the piece of clothing that looked like the players uniforms. I dont like the E at the end of Babe but Other then that I think its pretty good

I would like to know what auction house this came from.  Must be some paperwork somewhere.

The ladies name that had the estate sale was Colburn and at one time she owned a large antique store in West Memphis.  She now lives in Osceola,  Ar

This is what I got.   Mrs. Colburns husband passed away and in time had an estate sale for his personal Sports memorabilia/collection.  He collected sports items when they had the antique store in Memphis area.  He doesn't know if Mrs. Colburn is still alive anymore.
