Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Had our first large show of the season and came away with a few goodies. Before the show we always meet with our fellow collectors and buddies Matt and Don to share what we have found over the winter and between shows. Don was the lucky man this time as he found a Goldsmith crescent pad full web in good shape at a show for $40 . We were very happy for him. Here are our finds for the show today....

First is a Louisville Slugger 125 Lou Gehrig signature model bat. The stampings are light but definitely legible. The bat is stamped 34" on the bottom of the knob. It has a hand full of very small tack nails in the handle because of a thin crack. If anyone is interested please let us know. Looking to trade or sell.

Second was a Spalding Phil Rizzuto model 1121. Large top quality glove with the Ristankor type feature on the back strap along with the blue Spalding patch. Couldn't find this model in our older source book so if anyone could inform us of the year we would appreciate it.

I found the Rizzuto 1121 listed in the 1955 Spalding catalog. This is courtesy of the 2007 Source Book. Sold for $22.50 brand new. This is the only year the model is listed.

Thanks for the info we appreciate it. Guess it is time to spend a little glove money and update our source material .
