Vintage Glove on American Pickers

[murphusa]

So tonight the boys pick up a beat upped Dean Brothers Beech Nut sign for $425.00

[vintagebrett]

I think the appraisal they got might be a tad high - that thing was beat to heck and missing most of the glove. Nice to see they are branching out into sports but I couldn't stop laughing when Frank asked if this is the spot that Dizzy Dean stood - you could tell the lady was trying not to bust out laughing while explaining this was the new stadium (2 removed from the one Dean played in).

Did not see the end of the show so I don't know what they say they got for it but with the damage on the item and with the colors fadded I would have a hard time getting what they paid for it.

Guys,That was a cool program! I need to rewatch this program and pause it when that glove poster shows again. That looks like an old duck web style between the fingers on that glove that is behind the Dean players?

I have not heard from the pickers after emailing them but that was cool they picked up on a Dean poster. Brett,that was funny with the dugout scene. I have talked with that lady, Paula Homan, the curator of the HOF Cardinals museum a few times. She seems very nice. Once they get a new HOF baseball museum built in St. Louis, Paula has expressed an interest in me doing a glove exhibit at the museum. If that be the case, I am hoping more people will become aware of old timer gloves. Being they do not have a new museum (brick and mortor building), I am thinking that may be in part why they met on the field and in the dugout. i believe they have their museum stuff in storage and no longer are in their old museum building.

Could you guys make out what glove style that was on the backdrop of the Dean poster?

Murphusa,

Hey thanks for the pic. That is not a duck web style but some type of similar colored backdrop behind a double laced fingers and web gave me that first impression. I did a rewind on the show and it does look just like your picture below. I thought the duckweb would be "out of place" for the time period of the Dean's playing career but I did not see the lacing until your pic and the rewind.

If you take notice. Of the sign right there in the middle of it it say "extra picked"

To bad Mike didn't pick that up

Mike was also right on with the price, the pictured example I posted sold for $5100.00

I had not noticed that extra picked on the poster. That ad is cool. You gotta wonder if there is some old warehouse that still has a bunch of these cool old items layering around. The one they got sure had lost its color and was apparently trimmed.

That was a neat item they ran into though.

It looks like the artist who put the poster together got lazy and did not silohuette the glove between the fingers. Thusly you wind up with two different backgrounds giving the illusion of a duck web glove.

The guys were on Letterman. Pretty funny. Dave gives frank a hard time. It's on you tube

I saw that show. It was funny. That last pickers show was funny with emu chasing the guys back to the old barn. LOL
