Help with Glove Maker

Postby perezfan » June 11th, 2008, 3:07 pm

Hi... I'm hoping one of you vintage experts can help me with this one...

I recently acquired a game-used glove of Luke Appling, with an LOA signed by his daughter. The glove is a beauty, with tunnel-loop web and rolled leather piping. But I cannot make out the Brand.

There is a unique patch on the wrist-strap with what appears to be a Roadrunner and a Setting Sun. Does anyone know what Brand this might be? It is definitely from the 1930s...

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sounds like a Horace Partridge glove. Made in Boston.

I would concur that it most likely is a Horace Partridge based on your description. Does it compare to the label on this glove:
