Vintage 1920's Goldsmith LF "Adolfo Luque" model in super condition. Tall fingers and high quality construction. Tunnel loop web. Strong markings in the pocket. Sold for $129 on ebay. Was one of the better gloves in the Goldsmith 1925 catalog.

Spalding 42-2511 "Jim Fregosi" model glove for $26 on ebay. Not really into later Spalding gloves but it is Interesting how Spalding changes the name of the Rawlings patented features: The "Fastback" becomes "Control X-Tender Back" and the "Bellows Web" becomes the "Dual Action Web". The glove is in real good shape and a nice find for someone.

Here is an example of how posting vague pictures and descriptions can benefit a stealthy buyer lying in wait like a panther in the grass! Not a lot of pictorial information here except for a real nice cloth patch! The small front view was as posted on ebay.

This is a real nice Higgins "Bob Buhl" model 6-finger glove and a nice collectible. This early 6-finger model was made by Wilson as the "Ball Hawk 6" model and was one of their nicer models. Went for $26 on ebay. "Bretman" pointed out an August posting regarding an "under the radar" Babe Ruth glove on ebay. This too, but in a very minor way, is another "Stealth Bomber"!

Spalding top of the line "Alvin Dark" model 1003 glove in pretty worn condition but all there! brought $37 on ebay

I like the "Wrist Snugger" and "V-Anchored web"

Rawlings "Gene Woodling" PM1 3-finger glove in good condition for $30 on ebay. Nice mid 50's model featuring the "Wrist Snugger" and "V-Anchored" web. Cloth patch in great shape as is the inner lining. A good deal for the winning bidder

A lefty Spalding "Rocky Colavito" model 1072 in near mint condition brought $73 on ebay. A popular player model

Circa 1948 MacGregor Goldsmith "Les Fleming" model AH. This mitt is in great condition and of a distinctive style but only brought $26 on ebay. Love the "Snare" web. When I sold most of my gloves off, I kept this model as a favorite. Has a great on hand feel. The MacG's in this time period were some of my favorites. I was stoked when I finally found an "Ewell Blackwell" model XL. It was such a beast!

Sorry at work so I can't post pictures but the cresent catchers mitt ( 110578998500 ) went for 179.49 this past week

My previous post regarding the two crescent catchers mitts being relisted was a little confusing. I was hurrying because I was late for work. The mitt "murphusa" is referring to is Robbie's crescent mitt that did sell for $179 last week. It is remarkably similar to the Victor mitt I posted earlier. Below is Robbie's mitt which sold on ebay for $179 It too is a buckle web.

1950's Spalding 1207 "Triple Play" model for $32 on ebay. I like the "gussets" between the finger Stalls above the wrist opening, another Latina invention

circa 1959 Rawlings 'Mickey Mantle" MM9 "Triple Crown Winner" glove in near mint condition for $125 on ebay. Nice picture pocket

[mikesglove]

Pretty interesting Sears "Ted Williams" personal model glove made in the U.S.A. In near mint condition. Sold for $100 on ebay. What makes it interesting is the one piece pocket/web design patented by MacGregor in 1962. Stamped on the back of the web Pat.#3030629. I think this is a nice find for the winning bidder.
