Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Thrift store. Spalding 42-485 1B mitt. Ron Fairley. Major drag about the ink! Any ideas on how this might come off, or no chance; not even worth trying? Should I even waste new lace on it? So sad.

I would have said don't bother but Gary Bennett was a MLB player. Had a short stint on the PawSox and several other teams. Solid backup catcher. This may have been his childhood mitt...? I choose to be optimistic for your sake.

oh yeah mark,Bennet was on the cards for a couple years... nice find though. i would relace it up. ya never know how it will turn out

Gary Bennett (not the MLB player) was in my brothers class so it could be his also, or his dads (Gary also)
