A rare TOC Ratsch Peerles crescent webless glove sold for $1500. Identified by the distinctive reinforced overlapping thumb seam. Some of the thumb stitching is worn away so not immediately evident with a cursory inspection, but it's there and prized by TITK. Ratsch's company, Chicago Sporting Goods, made gloves for many mail order suppliers including FOK, Sears and Shapleigh among others. The glove has an inner thumb seam but no inner forefinger seam. The glove overall is in decent condition with the inner liner taking most of the wear.

Third, a teens-twenties Reach model 1BR 1" web glove. A high quality grey leather model in superb condition. The pocket is also stamped with OMG which is perhaps another model number?
