An early 1940's Stall & Dean model 8083 glove sold for $175. A TOTL glove, It features the "split cupped fingers" back panel and is stamped "foPrRmEed Treated Pocket" along the heel. This letter salad was S&D's way of stylizing "Preformed". The cool back panel was S&D's version of the natural curve form finger design popularized by OK Mfg., Wilson and others.

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.
