Edward Tickey endorsement

Postby ScottWNJ » July 7th, 2009, 12:51 am

Does anyone know what brand of glove Edward Tickey endorsed? I picked up a well worn Tickey catcher's mitt, and the manufacturers name is a blur. Could begin with a W, but I'm not sure. Only other markings are the words "Professional" under the signature, and "Genuine Cowhide" near the heel. Thanks.

The only thing listed for Ed Tickey is a Nocona J1515. This is according to Joe's Player Autograph Glove Finder. That doesn't mean there aren't others.

Hi Scott - almost definitely Nokona.

I'm inclined to agree. Although it is very faint, what I thought was a W could be the stylized N of the Nokona logo. Below it is a number U or O 515 or 575. I'll try and get a photo up in the photo section before I head off for vacation tomorrow. Hoping for some glove finds on my drive to Florida.
