Here is an assortment of some interesting Wilson gloves from here and there.
Circa 1920 Model 604 "Professional League" glove. This was my first vintage Wilson. I liked the black on black.
Within a few years, Wilson introduced the "Harry Heilman" model 604. Virtually the same glove as above.
A full web "Slate Horsehide" model 605. I bought this from a friend in Massachusetts. He sold off some of his collection and knew I like this one. Unusual light grey leather. Wilson used oxblood leather for the piping, welting and interiors of some of their models. That gave the gloves a nice contrast.
About the same time as the Heilman model, Wilson introduces the "Babe Ruth" model 605. I am not sure if it is the same slate leather but a beauty nonetheless.
A circa 1920 "Professional League" model 600. Creamy white horsehide with the oxblood interior and trim.
I liked the turquoise green stitching on the back.
A 1920's "Professional " model 610 in buff horsehide.
A pre 1920 model 502 catchers mitt with the 1914 patent wrist strap and WWI "War Department" stamp
