Molded entirely from rubber, this reduced-scale sample mirrors the form and branding of the regulation plate while remaining compact enough for desk, counter, or traveling sales use. The molded lettering reads \"MAJOR LEAGUE SAV-A-LEG HOME PLATE,\" accompanied by the SR monogram and manufacturer attribution. Designed to demonstrate material resiliency, shock absorption, and durability, the sample allowed sales representatives to physically show the advantages of rubber construction over traditional rigid plates without transporting full-size equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Seamless Rubber Co. of New Haven, Connecticut, specialized in molded rubber sporting goods, and Sav-A-Leg products were marketed as a safer alternative intended to reduce impact injuries-an important selling point as organized baseball continued to professionalize in the early 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMinor discoloration and surface wear present throughout, consistent with age and handling.
