Stall & Dean Co. History

[mikesglove]

I found this in a VL&A catalog on JD's site. It was listed as a1938 catalog but I think it must be more like the early 1920's. The VL&A catalog carried Stall & Dean gloves. The "Speediest" model glove was interesting for the Joseph Hartman patented finger lacing. The third and fourth finger were laced together through leather flaps sewn onto the inside of each finger.


Leave it to Rob to have a nice and rare example.

An 1958 S&D Tom Brewer model 8061 glove. It will look familiar to anyone collecting MacGregor models. The S&D is a duplicate of the MacGregor Spider Web models of the late '50's.

below is the circa 1959 MacGregor model GCR.

Here is a reissue of the Sullivan model glove that originally appeared in the middle 1950's in the Stall & Dean catalog. The reissue glove has a Seattle tag instead of Brocton. They are a new company that bought or appropriated the S&D logo for their main business of sporting goods apparel.
Here is the glove compared to a authentic Sullivan model.
