Today I received a glove lot that I purchased off Ebay. Included in this lot was a MacGregor Goldsmith G155. Trap style first base mitt.
I am not much of a vintage glove person.
Can anyone tell me anything about this mitt? Overall it is in ok condition. The leather is not super hard and britle. The palm lining is a bit worn, but not worn through. I am not sure about the padding and lining of the finger area. (I have never seen a mitt like this before in person.) The trap laces have been replaced with cloth shoelaces. The patch is missing off the back, and the piping, which appeared to be a coated cloth material, is missing off most of the mitt.
If anyone can tell me anything about this glove model I would appreciate it. My knowledge of vintage gloves is limited. Would any forum members think this would be a mitt that would be worth restoring or is it better used as decoration of the wall at a sportsbar?
Thanks in advance.
