Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Hi guys, I am looking for a new Brass button for a Akadema reissue 1929 Reach RFO Babe Ruth Home Run Special glove. I purchased it a few years ago. It is a nice glove but it is Made in China and they over stuffed it with cheap pillow fluff!!!!!!!!! It is too bad they can't abolish NAFTA so this glove could have been made in the USA and out of real horsehide not cowhide! The glove came with the cheap tack Brass button from China. All I want is a plain Brass button which is the same size-and have a button on it like the Ruth Reach glove originally had. Does anyone know or have ideas where to look for something like this? Any info would be great! Phil Cormier Fitchburg, MA 01420

Perfect timing Mike. I just purchased a Mexican made glove that is missing a button, and was going to ask the Forum where to find one. Thanks for the tip.
