Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Mid 30s - Blish, Mize & Silliman Hardware - Carl N. Reynolds (Model 510).
Has a buckle back.

Replaced the web, re-laced the heel and found a period hang tag.
I wished it cleaned up better, but like it anyways.

Anyone have any info on this brand or other models?

Thx in advance.

Hey Mark, cool glove. I thought they said Bush, Mize & Silliman. Thanks for the clarification. There's a Walter Johnson in the Johnson Gallery as well as one more in the Other Manufacturers Gallery. Just do a search for blish and you should get three different glove hits.

Blish, Mize & Silliman Hardware Co. was formed in 1871 and started off outfitting wagon trains heading out west from Kansas. They soon became a general hardware distributor to over 800 hardware stores throughout the Midwest. They are still active today.

As far as sporting goods, they distributed Reach products in 1908.

Nokona products in the 1950's.

Nice graphics on this pin.
