Glove of the Week: Dec 10 – Dec 16 (Spalding Foxx?)
Posted: December 20th, 2007, 8:20 am
Plenty to choose from this week, with the Spalding (maybe Foxx) model mitt topping the list...
I knew this was a great looking, absolutely high-end mitt, but wasn’t sure what I was seeing when it broke $300…$400…$500…$600. I then looked at our trusty source book and found the Spalding 221-51 model in the 1938 catalog associated with the Jimmie Foxx endorsement. The glove was bought by a forum member, so it would be interesting to find out if there is a Foxx endorsement on the glove because I don’t believe the seller ever mentions one. This glove sold for $660 on 16 bids.
I think the “Ripon Knitting Works Leather Divisionâ€
