Brimfield Day 2 - July 2008

I went to the 6 am show opening at Brimfield this morning. Usually, when waiting to get in, there is a mob scene of people - not today. There wasn't a mob of dealers inside either. I did manage to pick up a few decent items at some bargain prices. My first find was a Hutch model 52 Ival Goody Goodman - well made, thick leather binding, nice Hutch tag and button, great supple leather. Second glove pick up was a Rawlings XPG 16 Davey Lopes with an H-web. It needs to be relaced but the leather is excellent, the tags are good and there is no visible ink. I know there are a lot of people here who like the H-webs - if someone is interested, let me know - it's not a keeper for me. My only other buy was a nice Kren Klouter bat - no endorsement but it appears to be professional quality and is big.

Here are some pictures. The Goodman has some nice leather and a cool, trippy looking tag. Couple of mold spots on the front are the only problem. The XFG16 Lopes is nice, just needs to be relaced. The bat is great as well. None are keepers for me so if you are interested, let me know.
