Off to a good start this month.

OK MFG Co. model 772 Terry Moore buckle back split finger. This is a fantastic glove - that is all.





Sonnett model D4FL James Piersall fielders glove. Picked this up at an antique mall while visiting my in-laws in FL. It is a well constructed mitt and different than that other D4FL's that I own. Plus, I've never seen James - it's always been Jim or Jimmy. Congrats to Mr. Piersall on his recent election to the Red Sox HOF.





Bon Tober model 216/8 double buckle catchers mitt. Love the Bon Tober gloves that are high quality since they are a Connecticut maker. It's hard to find quality BT gloves though. Has some paint and ink issues but overall it's a nice model.

Great looking gloves Brett. But I have to say that finding gloves in FL is near impossible. Just returned from 2 months at my home there. We visited dozens of antique shops, malls and a show or two. Didn't find anything worth buying. Same results on my last visit in October. You would think that with all the Spring Training played there for so many years, gloves would be easy to find. I did pick up a nice Fred Lynn store model bat, but that's all.

Another OK pickup - this is my 3rd Harry Walker 2 finger but this one has lacing through the false finger on the back of the web - the others don't. Always coming across something different on these OK models.

Got this at a local auction last night - had to stand around 3 hours for it to come up but it was worth it to me - Brown Co., Hartford, Connecticut full web - it's very tall and midline - this was a label I've never come across so it fits well into my New England collection. Picked up a nice D&M boxing glove box with gloves, a melon football and a couple other things in the lot as well.
