Found another photo of Spalding's pro stock Johnny Callison autograph model, with a really odd model number. Joy Foy in 1966.

Picked up a Spalding 42-181.

Really worn, needs a deep clean and re-lace.

Can’t seem to load pics…

One of the Glove models Bill Mazeroski used in his career was a custom Wilson glove made for him that combined features of the Early Wynn model A2054 and the 1958-60 A2000 Shooting Star model. Below is a game used model. It is stamped A2054 at the heel. It is the 1958-60 A2000 model with Snap Action heel and newly designed palm lacing fitted with the X laced eyelet web and web anchoring found on the Early Wynn model.

Below is a photo of Mazeroski with the glove. You can note the repairs to both gloves at the bottom of the web. Mazeroski must have really loved that glove.

Below a photo of Mazeroski with the same model glove in a little better condition.

A game model for Heritage Auctions.

From 1960-1962 Rawlings catalogs offered the TG15 Ken Boyer personal model. This top-line glove was discontinued in 1963 when it evolved into the TT15 Ken Boyer model. Below is a TG15 Vern Law glove which appears to be identical to the 1962 TG15 Ken Boyer model (features the cross over fingertip lacing that made it's debut in 1962).

Here's a photo of Vern Law in 1961. It looks like he is using the TG15 model.

Here's a later photo of vern Law circa 1966 with s Rawlings Tri-Flex web glove found on the Billy Williams model XPG11.
