Glove of the week: Nov 5 – Nov 11 (Cobb)
Posted: November 15th, 2007, 8:15 am
Plenty to choose from this past week. Thanks to Brett for the heads up on the Cobb and Ruth. I had looked at those auctions awhile back, not that I would have stayed in the running for the Cobb, but what a bargain that Ruth. I’d like to attend a Hunt Auction in PA at some point. Has anyone ever been to one?
A nice Stall & Dean Woody English split finger glove with the laced back earned $267 on 10 bids. English models were produced by S&D from roughly ’31-’37. The glove, according to the seller, is in good shape inside and out. To me the glove has a couple of great attributes. I like the finger reinforcements where the web ties to, which we often find on Hornsby models. S&D also seemed to make gloves with the big panel of leather on the backside of the glove - I have a buckle back with the similar design. There is something unique about this design. The other is the font of the stampings. Although it is faint, you can see how elaborate it once was.
This late 20s Goldsmith JG25 Glenn Wright Model glove brought in $241 on 10 bids. Not sure I’ve seen this endorsement in recent memory, so it could be a relatively rare one. I do wonder when I see pics of gloves with leather that appears a bit too shiny. I like a softer patina on my gloves. Nonetheless, a great looking design and Goldsmith gloves are always nice.
From glover Keith Knabe, something of a bargain I believe. This Bill Rogell endorsed Draper Maynard buckle back earned just $77 on 4 bids. The Rogell model was in production in ’36 and ’37 as far as I can tell. The sourcebook lists a G57 model, in this the case the seller has described a “G109 or G189 or maybe something elseâ€
