Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Another nice one to start the month. A 1920's base mitt sold for $1705 with a great looking sewn web, crescent pad, buckle back glove thrown in to sweeten the deal. It was a funny listing.

A 1920-30's "Babe Ruth" model RC2 catchers mitt sold for about $300. It's in nice shape.

A Wilson basemitt sold for $357. This is one of the early ones and features the oval Wilson logo patch, patented wrist strap and sewn web. You can see a vintage repair to the wrist strap. Later versions added reinforcing stitching for that design flaw. The mitt is also great looking with black leather and white piping.


A vintage catchers mitt sold for $97. It is missing the cloth patch but was made by Stall & Dean. It's a pretty early mitt with the quick release buckle and arrow head wrist strap. Funny the seller hadn't bothered to showcase that feature. Overall, the mitt is in good shape.

Three rare ones in great shape.
A circa 1930 D&M "Joe Cronin" model G84D "World Series" glove sold for $285
A Reach sewn web glove sold for $225. A couple of flaws but when have you seen a burgundy full web for sale.
A Spalding "Rocky Colavito" personal model 1141 glove sold for $175. A popular glove, same as the Rawlings Herb Score model.

A 1940's Rawlings "Merrill May" glove sold for $125. A unique wrist strap, great looking patch and triple web model. Could stand a good cleaning/conditioning but looks to be in nice shape.

A 1940's Rawlings "Pepper Martin" model 400V sold for $66. I like the long pocket/shorty fingers. The glove has a Leacock and a worn Rawlings patch. The glove is a popular model and seems pretty nice, not sure why it didn't go higher.

A rare Vim Radio/Sports "George Selkirk" glove sold for $114. One of the few full double laced gloves from KenWel in the 1940's.

A Stall & Dean "Grover Alexander" Speed model glove sold for $375. A collector favorite and looks to be in good shape.

A Wright, Ditson & Victor basemitt sold for $53. Kind of a sleeper I guess and in need of some TLC. This is stamped the "Sticker" model and except for a torn cloth patch, it's in good overall condition.

A 1960's Rawlings "Mickey Mantle" model XPG6 HOH glove sold for $256. It looks to be in great condition although the leather looks dry as a bone.

A 1920's J.C Higgins catchers mitt sold for $191. It was made by D&M and was the top of the line "Double Palm" model. It shows a fair amount of wear but still nicely intact.
