Dubow
Posted: April 28th, 2009, 4:51 pmFound this one on ebay recently. It's about as big as a Rawlings HSP with the same V lacing thru the web but with grommets on the sides ala Wilson. The wrist snugger is similar to the 50's Nokonas. Really nice supple leather.
This Dubow is my very first glove. I think I was 7 years old when my dad bought it for me. Yep, this is the one that made those Willie Mays type catches look so effortless (in my dreams). I actually did prop it up on my pillow next to me at bedtime when I first got it. Of course, being a responsible Mom, my Mom wrote my name, address, date of birth, list of allergies, favorite snack and TV show in marker on the inside of the glove.
Then she had to do it all over again when it was passed down to my little brother! My name and school room number are under the strap also. Thank Heaven for Moms!
