March Newsletter Juicy

Postby softball66 » March 31st, 2008, 1:11 pm

Well, got the latest newsletter to the printer last day in March but it should be ready in a few short days. Forum members might be interested in this issue since we wrote a two page article on 1870 to 1899 gloves with some patent
illustrations for gloves of that era plus some of the names who submitted those patents, one for an inflatable glove!!!!
Also in this issue is a story on all of the different glove cleaners and conditioners with SOME names I'm sure most haven't heard of. Many of which I've used here at one time or another. And the "further revelations" story on the Mickey Mantle Jr. glove.
Anyone wanted to subscribe can do so for annual subscription (four issues)
at $18.95. Paypal can be used. Or contact me at glovecollector@mac.com :P

Oh yeah, Ger. Old dog new tricks but you sure can do a lot of novel pony shows on the new mac once you learn the ropes.
I think the guys will like this issue. The glove patent submittal on the front cover shows an inflatable rubber bladder. Now that should have protected the old hands. Also ran a shot of those expensive pair of 1870-80 cutoff gloves lovingly kept here in Dallas.

In a little slip up on this last newsletter which we hope most of you have received, we had to take out a neat patent illustration for an inflatable
padding glove from around 1900. If any of you would like this patent illustration I will be glad to send a photocopy to you.
Joe
