Gary Peters Glove

[smr1]

Hi everybody. First post here and hope I'm following the correct procedure. Recently, I obtained a MacGregor glove and the pocket has a Chap Peters signature on it. Is this a nickname for Gary Peters? Thank you - Scott

Never heard of a "Chap" Peters glove on any glove brand. Gary Peters was a Spalding endorser so doubt it was him.

The glove is in excellent condition. It's endorsed by MacGregor and has a CP stamped directly above the MacGregor Made in the USA label. It also has Natural Ball Pocket and Flex-Pad stamped as well.

I'm still not sure how to post a picture on this forum. I took several pictures and would like to post to show everyone.

This glove was in a box of gloves that I picked up - which included a Spalding 133 Joe Dimaggio, MacGregor Goldsmith Birdie Tebbetts, and a very small Jimmy Outlaw mitt (manufacturer unknown).

Well, Scott, what you seem to have there is...a mystery!

I couldn't find any record of Gary Peters going by the nickname "Chap" and, as Joe notes, Gary Peters seems to have endorsed only Spalding gloves.

MacGregor did have a run of gloves with the model number "GCP" in the late 60's- they were top-of-the-line pro models- but I can't find a "CP" model.

To find out how to post a picture, go to the "Vintage Glove Pictures" section. There is a "sticky post" at the top of that page with instructions.

Gang - Attached are the pictures of the Peters Glove in question. Included is an overview, a close up of the signature and a close up of the CP stamping above the MacGregor marking. Please feel free to look and comment. Again - any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this is a custom made glove for a Chap Peters by MacGregor.
Chap Peters = CP. This has happened before in the glove business.

Guys - Thanks for the quick replies and help. Scott
