Hi Tony, Saw your question a while back and thought you deserved an answer. This nice old glove is as good a place as any to launch a collection. I noticed a few things that might be helpful as you go forward. First, many collectors look at the lining and binding, or piping of these old ones. Your glove has a partial lining and a fairly thin binding. That just means it's not a high end glove. Instead, it probably one that sold hundreds because it was inexpensive in comparison to the top models. One suggestion I would have is to try to get yourself a copy of the Catalog Source Book, published by The Glove Collector, Joe Phillips. This book will key you in to the wide array of gloves that have been manufactured over time and help bring you collecting into focus.
All the Best,
Mike
