This D&M mitt with Decker patent and double palm stitching sold at $131.50.

That was a top of the line "Wally Schang" model by the way

Yes, I was very pleased with this pick up, I think it will display awesome with some other mint D&M stuff I was able to aquire a few weeks ago.

This incredibly high quality Reach Joe Cronin with box sold for the $450 opening bid. Poor photos and a high starting bid may have kept buyers away but this is one gorgeous piece.

A double tagged D&M/Charles Huber Co. glove sold for $110 on ebay. Nice glove but no endorsement or model number probably kept the price down

A Reach crescent pad catchers mitt sold for $355. From the John Graham collection

A Wilson "Red Ruffing" three finger model sold for $263. Also from the John Graham collection

[mikesglove]

A 1950's MacGregor "Richie Ashburn" model GB23 sold for $75 on ebay. Not a reverse button model but still a stellar glove. Didn't last long as a BIN.

A 1950-60's "Norm Cash" model 2860 base mitt sold for $163. Mitt appears to be near mint.

A 1960's Denkert "Sanford Koufax" glove sold for $360 on ebay. One of the few lefty's that sell for a premium. Glove appears to be unused.

A nice Spalding Marvel triple tunnel "Joe DiMaggio" model 107 glove sold for $425. Glove is in pristine condition with a strong endorsement and pocket stamping. Not sure of the era, sometime in late 1930-40's. Jerry would probably know.

A 1930's D&M "Diamond King" mitt sold for $205. Also in pristine condition.

I think Brett and I had that Diamond King mitt for a few minutes at the National. Someone got a good deal on it.

A Spalding white leather full web glove sold for $397 on ebay. The logo and patent stamps look to be intact on the face and the glove overall in super condition.

A Lowe & Campbell "Rogers Hornsby" model A10 glove sold for $120 on ebay. Glove shows wear but seems intact. Nice patch and endorsement on the front.

A cool looking Forrest Leather glove sold for $157 on ebay. Looks to have had minimal use.

[mikesglove]

A 1940's Wilson "Ted Williams" autograph model 2210 glove sold for $456 on ebay. Glove is in super condition.

A Pinedo brand "Geo. Sisler" model base mitt sold for $90 on ebay. Looks to be really well made. Finger guard on the back and nice endorsement on the front. Could be a Rawling's made mitt.

[mikesglove]

A Ratsch Peerless mitt sold for $35 on ebay. A pretty early model needing some repairs. I would have definitely keyed the BIN because the mitt is pretty cool looking and a worthy restoration project. Sorry I missed it.

A 1920's ANC brand glove sold for $121 on ebay. Never heard of the brand before. Glove is in great condition and has an Interesting logo.

A nice Spalding Marvel triple tunnel "Joe DiMaggio" model 107 glove sold for $425. Glove is in pristine condition with a strong endorsement and pocket stamping. Not sure of the era, sometime in late 1930-40's. Jerry would probably know.

I've searched and searched different catalogs for the 107 for many years, but have yet to find it. I initially thought it was Canadian, but it was clearly made in the USA as per the stampings. There are several variations to the wrist strap button, including one with a train on it, so my theory is that it was produced during the war years and that they used whatever metal buttons were avaialble at the time (they were likely in short supply because of WWII). It's clearly a 1940's design, does not show up in any late 1930's Spalding catalogs, nor any of the late 1940's catalogs. My best guestimate is 1942-1945, give or take a year or two.

Another nice April glove,,,Here's a G51 Draper & Maynard Joe Harris Model. I picked it up post auction from my good friend Robbie. Just a really nice example of this top-of-the-line model. It needed a lot of cleaning up, but I love that part of it, so that worked out just fine.

A 1920's Rawlings/Schemlzers catchers mitt sold for $62 on ebay. Not described in the listing but Ralph "Cy" Perkins clearly stamped on the face. Nice mitt.

A 1920's glove sold for $20 on ebay. Not much of a description in the listing. Seems in great shape and a bargain.

A 1920's Worth sewn web glove sold for some undisclosed BO under $85. Somewhat rare manufacturer in that time period.

An interesting 1915-20 Reach Catchers mitt sold for $35 on ebay. The reinforced palm looks to be authentic with the way it ties into the piping and grommets. Some damage to the back side kept the price down.

[mikesglove]

A mid 1950's Rawlings "Herb Score" model HSP sold for a BO under $249. Glove is in great shape.

Another "Herb Score" HSP model sold for $212. This one was a later HOH model. Glove has been well played but all intact.

A 1950-60's Nokona "Roy Face" model DH sold for $158. Glove is near mint except for an inscription on the web.
