A rare TOC Ratsch Peerles crescent webless glove sold for $1500. Identified by the distinctive reinforced overlapping thumb seam. Some of the thumb stitching is worn away so not immediately evident with a cursory inspection, but it's there and prized by TITK.

The glove overall is in decent condition with the inner liner taking most of the wear.
