Last of the 2008 Additions
Posted: December 27th, 2008, 1:26 pmHere my and crackofthebat's final additions for 2008:
XAC model A730 1" web split finger glove - this was my Christmas present and I really like it - the leather is super soft and supple - stampings are a little weak but still visible. Very nice!
Edward K. Tryon model BH Bucky Harris "Vance Style" split finger glove. Picked this one up on eBay - it was not identified as a Harris but it's clear as day when you look at it. Great leather on the glove - piping has some issues but rest of glove is supple and soft. Unfortunately the lacing in the fingers had fallen apart so I had to redo that.
From under the tree to crackofthebat's collection:
D&M model 551 1B mitt - great leather and nice stampings - this glove barely saw any use at all. All around a stunner!
Spalding model LG Earl Sheely - this was the top of the line model in the 1930's. You don't see too many Sheely gloves around - guess they were too expensive during the Great Depression. Well constructed and great stampings.
