Circa 1965 mint Spalding "Richie Allen" model 42-235 glove sold for $224 on ebay. My top bid was $62 so I was a tad low. Middle of the price range from the 1965 Spalding catalog, but the "Cross Flex Web" is pretty cool.

This hard to find early 1900's Rawlings full web with "Art Fletcher" endorsement sold for $300 on ebay. Glove overall is in great shape with a legible signature and great looking cloth patch on the back. Fletcher was NL MVP for the NY Giants in 1913-14.

Great looking 1930-40's J.C. Higgins "Mel Ott" glove sold for $195 on ebay. Beautiful leather patina with little wear. The lining is in nice shape and the D-ring wrist strap distinguishes this model.

I was the winner of this one on eBay...but have yet to figure out the history of it. If anyone knows, please let me know!

Ask the folks at the Modern Glove Forum. http://glove-works.getwebs.org/ They may have some info on the LB12 Mantle glove. Rawlings designer Bob Clevenhagen sometimes posts on different websites. Try a Google search for his name. He would definitely know the history of your glove.
