Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

I'd like a little help form those who have Ken Wel catalogs from the mid-1920's to 1940. Please email if you're in possession of any as I have a few simple questions about dating glove models to specific years. Thanks!!!

have ken wel catalogs from 1931 and 1934, if that would be of any help. also have copies of philip and bert kennedy's glove patents (1924, 1927).

Thanks Joe, I sent you an email...

This one has been up on eBay for a long while now - make them an offer they can't refuse.

Thanks guys. The most important thing I'm looking for is dating a "G-155" or "G-155 Special" to a specific year. I'm thinking mid-1930's. It doesn't show up in any of the catalog years we've found or have access to. If you have a Ken Wel catalog, please take a look and see if either of these two models appear. Much appreciated!

I want to cover all bases, so though I think it reads G-155, it may me 6-155 or 3-155.

the numbering you refer to was not how Ken Wel numbered their gloves and mitts for the catalogs i have. They only used numbers, as 597 or 601 for models. not sure when they went to dashes within the model number.

I know, that's what makes this model number so perplexing

Maybe it was made by Ken-Wel for another company to sell in their store - we've seen this with many other companies before.
