Cool photos Mike and Derek. Here's Ewell Blackwell from the early 1940's with his folks and with another black glove, a Goldsmith XG I think. Wish they would have made more black gloves back then.

Those Goldsmith XG Netro Tanned gloves are awesome. Super similar to the Elmer Riddle.

Mike, remember the Brooks Robinson photo you posted on Oct. 3rd with the unidentified Rawlings web? I replied with a photo of Mickey Lolich wearing what appeared to be a Spalding version of the same glove. Here's a couple more photo's which might identify the Spalding glove. They're of a very young Nolan Ryan while he was with the Mets. The first photo has him wearing what looks like the same glove as the Lolich. The second shows him wearing a special order Spalding 42-517. Can't say for certain it's the same glove but it could be possible. Only info I could find on the 42-517 was a glove you pictured in the special order gloves section. It was a 42-517X Johnny Callison autograph model which featured an H web design. Could Ryans glove be a Callison 42-517 autograph model with a conventional web? Looking closely at the second blow up it does appear to show the A in autograph as well as the J in Johnny in the palm stamping.

That's a good find Derek. The Spalding 42-517 model may answer a question glovers had back in 2010: https://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4940

I agree Jim. The leather on those Goldsmith and MacGoldsmith gloves was superb.
Here's Jim Lonborg being mobbed after sealing the pennant for the Red Sox in '67. The bottom photo is from a 2015 old timer's game. That glove's a keeper.

Hey Greg, here's the same model Wilson glove worn by Denny McLain in 1968.

Derek, the retail Spalding Johnny Callison gloves in that time period were stamped "Professional Model". It seems that Spalding created an upgraded Johnny Callison "Autograph Model" 42-517 for MLB.

That's such a good looking glove, with the hinged web and how the seam runs next to the laced heel. I've gone back to your post that showed how they tweaked the A2000 through the 1960's quite a few times. They sure didn't rest on their laurels.

I've seen so many of those "Al Kaline for the A2000" ads that I automatically think of him when I think of the glove. Here he is with the original in 1958 and some years later with an H-web version. Except for the "Professional" stamp, it looks like a match to the 1966 A2000 from Mike's Special Order post. Hmm.
