A 1920's Chicago Sporting Goods mitt sold for $51. The mitt is of good quality and would benefit with a little TLC. Rare to find this brand with an intact cloth patch.

A 1957 Spalding "Big Pro" model 1131 glove sold for $299. Seller sold this as a duplicate of the Rawlings HH model. It's actually more in line with the model HSP, Rawlings' TOTL glove. the "Big Pro" model and the HSP have a little more lacing running up the thumb and forefinger stalls than the model HH. The glove is in great shape.

A 1968 Spalding Gene Alley PM model 42-216 glow sold for $25. For the seller, just getting rid of a garage sale find. It's actually a pretty rare glove. It's a new model for 1968 featuring the "Pro Style Web". It's a duplicate of the Rawlings Mickey Mantle model XPGH glove, also new for 1968. It's got the three dot date code for 1968.

A 19th century fingerless glove sold for $499. That's a bargain. It's in good condition. From the arrangement of the padding it's possibly an early Rawlings model.

I think that's the Akadema reissue used for Vintage Base Ball leagues. The way the thumb is sewn onto the exterior is identical as well as the longer fingers.

A Reach model 200 "League Special" mitt sold for $449". It's a midline model in great condition. Listed as circa 1910, it's actually a 1935 model. The 1910 version would have had a grommet web. This one has a trap lace web. Also, the "League Special" model is straight from the 1935 Reach catalog.

It just didn't look anything like mine or Tim's. That's all. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm sorry someone paid that much for it.

A circa 1955 Nokona Bob Lemon model G54 glove sold for $99. Rawlings featured the "Deep Well" pocket lacing to keep the heel pad in place. Nokona had a novel sewn seam running across the pocket to achieve the same thing. The Gr4 model here is the nicest example I have seen.

A Goldsmith base mitt and hutch glove sold for $500. The only one worth mentioning is the Goldsmith. It's a 1924 "FingerGrip Model" 145. It has a deep V vented back with lacing. It's a midline mitt modeled after the Jake Daubert model BK. All in all a pretty rare example and it's in super condition.

A teens Reach catchers mitt sold for $110. The condition is so-so. Its biggest claim to fame is the patented reinforced wrist opening that Reach used to supplant the riveted wrist opening which was prone to ripping.
