Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

If you have a good label on a spare Sonnett glove, you could send the glove and label to Kenny Jenkins and he'll sew it on for you. He did one for me a few years ago. I very carefully removed the label from the donor glove and put it in an envelope in the package with the glove.

Scored this Wilson Feller last night! (waiting on it's arrival).
Outstanding condition, and will go nicely with my two J.C. Higgins Feller gloves. I also rarely see any Wilson Feller gloves (otherwise I'd snag 'em):

Picked up a unique Goldsmith Leo Durocher model up on eBay with a very quick BIN its a big soft glove with only minor flaws. I have never seen a Durocher with the modified Rainey web just the Joe Cronin, and Joe Vosmik models. It has extra eyelets for the pinkey lace but i dont know if a web or just lace went though them. This also has a very unique back not the typical Goldsmith button back. Looks like this is another toughie that will join its brothers..lol. If anyone has seen this glove before and could let me know what went in the pinkie eyelets I would appreciate it.

From a 1940 Goldsmith catalog. Cool looking glove!

Here's an unused beauty from 1961 - Sonnett model T6Y Bob Allison

Gorgeous OK MFG Co model LR Hal Newhouser glove

A couple of "Golden Oldies".

Spalding Marvel Tannage "Joe DiMaggio" model 133. It's as big as a lot of catchers mitts. I like the triple tunnel web and diverted "Streamline Thumb".





Marathon "Joe Gordon" model 4207. Nicest one I've ever seen

Here is a mitt that lives up to it's name. The Victor Special! This glove is high quality and has an incredible lining/feel to it. I think I'll bring it to the National next summer, let Rob fall in love with it and then tell him it's not for sale.

Beautiful mitt, definitely a keeper!

Absolutely!

Is the cloth patch on the palm?

No patch on this one or evidence that there ever was one.

Here's a nice Del Pratt VWD 1" adjustable web I was able to pick up. Not really a sig. model guy, more just early NE makers, but just couldn't resist this one. Guess if must have one for an example this would be it for me!! Never had an adjustable web before either, just a cool glove to me, will go well in the case for a long time to come;)

Sorry the pics came out sideways, have no idea why, must be something to do with iPhone, anyway, you get the idea:)

Another "Golden Oldie". A circa 1940 Spalding Marvel "Joe DiMaggio" Selflex model 233 with the trap webbing and unique back.



This DiMaggio model 233 is the "Pro-Form" model with the segmented finger stalls.
