A "Muddy Ruel" catchers mitt sold for $202. It was made by KenWel for the Bacharach/Rasin Co. of MD. Except for the abrasion on the face, a nice looking mitt. If you are collecting gloves from all the states, going by the retailer tag is the way to do it. Hawaii and Alaska would be tough.

A 1930's KenWel "Dazzy Vance" model 564 glove sold for $350. It didn't last long on ebay. It's in great condition and you will rarely see one with markings as strong.

A 1920's Diamond brand sewn web glove sold for $200. Overall a pretty nice glove, great patch. Came with an old black/red stitched ball.

A 19th century base/fielders mitt sold for $75. It's a rare double crescent design. The same model as Jerry's primo version.
Some fool has a lot of work ahead of him.

A prototype 2002 replica Rawlings Mickey Mantle HOH XPG 6 H went for $2,032.17 on eBay. That was a mouthful. Just like the Billy Crystal glove but for 1/117th the price! Love the spiral reinforcement of the web. https://goo.gl/n6bkYG

A 1920's VIM/XAC glove & box sold for $300. Originally set at $750, the sale price is a very good deal for the buyer. The glove is high quality and in exceptional condition. The box is a rare one in fine shape[/attachment]

A 1920's grommet web Reach glove sold for $361. Very faint markings on what looks to have originally been white leather. I think it is the HH "Professional Model".

A 1920's sewn web D&M model G24L "Geo. Mogridge" model glove sold for $745. Mogridge was a star pitcher back in the teens-twenties. He is in the 1924 D&M catalog as a model G24 endorser. The glove is in great shape and has got to be the first one found. A lot of bidding on this one.
