Man that is a real tough one. The 8802 was produced for so many years and the design basically did not change. \n\nI think I'm fairly certain when I tell you this though. No 8802 is worth a whole lot. This is due to the fact that Wilson made a putter prior to the 8802 that is collectible. \n\nThis is just from my head, but I'm almost positive the 8813 is the collectible Wilson putter. I don't know how to identify that putter either, but I do know they can be worth in the hundreds in good condition. \n\nYou can search on ebay and see what you can find out as far a prices go.

Brooks Robinson, Jim Kaat (16).\n\nI don't like the Gold Glove idea for two reasons: 1. It didn't start until the late '50s, so it missed some great players. 2. It doesn't differentiate b/w LF, CF and RF, which has penalized some great outfielders. But there's your answer.

contact the firearms maker with the serial #.  they can tell you when it was made, but that is all.\n\nbut, if the number is something like 0000001, they probaby know the buyer because it was a collectors gun.

You can take it to a sports dealer and have it appraised.  The way your describing to me it sounds like it is worth a lot of money.  Is it in mint condition?

Contact the University of Illinois (see url below)and tell them your story.  They should have a record of who was on the team when they won the Big 10 back in '46.  You have the initials, so it should be easy to narrow it down. \n\nI think you are to be commended for trying to find the original owner.  I'm sure he will appreciate it more than you know. \n\nGood Luck.

Take it to a sports and memorabilia appraiser.  If there's an auction house near you, they should have one.
