Here are a very vintage set of match-worn cricket pads. Manufactured by Jack Hobbs Ltd, 59 Fleet St., E.C. 4 as shown on a very small tag on one pad. They appear to be much older than the versions with the large Hobbs logo. The name Astington is handwritten in ink on the pads. A Google search yields an 1877 reference to F. Astington of Croydon, but who knows? Nice display pieces.
