Rare Ones
Posted: December 4th, 2009, 9:22 pmHaven't seen these two before:
Thomas E. Wilson model 650 J.M. Brooks - this was the top of the line glove in the 1926 catalog - looks like it was only made for one year. Brooks played for the Chicago Cubs in 1925 and 1926. Joe's book says "Catalogued" - anyone else seen one before?
Goldsmith model M Walter Schmidt FingerGrip Model - this is a high quality mitt with the Goldsmith patented grips at the top of the fingers (guess it was for better hold). Very nice piece of leather.
