Hi Brett,
I appreciate your kind words and yes, this house is finally our new home.
Below I am listing the gloves I am thinking would be good ones to have for the collection in my den. I am hoping to get decent condition gloves for the den. No rips, tears, mouse chews, or stuffing coming out of the liners. No seam seperations etc. Things we all likely try to avoid as glove collectors. LOL
No duplicates are needed, as I just want one decent example for the period the glove represents. Usually, I don't care about endorsements but I would like a decent example of the endorsed gloves gloves that seem to represent milestones in the glove evolution process.
Wish list for the top of the shelf.
Of course a crescent padded 2 inch sewn web would be nice (likely I won't get that glove as it is to expensive.) lol I did not even consider a glove without a web.
2 inch sewn web black or white leather would be cool Brown would also work but prefer black or white.
1 inch sewn web black or white leather would be cool
a lace and grommet Doak endorsed web style
A lace and multiple grommets web style
Vance glove with double lace through fingers
single tunnel web
Joe Gordon double tunnel web style with a wide strap through a few of the fingers would be nice
triple tunnel web
solid web from the 50's with lace through all the fingers. An old Musial would be cool but just one in really nice shape might be good.
Other cool web styles I always liked.
I believe the tree web *upside down Christmas tree look) was made by Stall and Dean.
A cool rainey web, ugh I used to have 4 variations of those.
Brett, I just went through my old book and looked at some of the above gloves. Either these represent basic styles for glove evolution or just cool old timer gloves for the top shelf. It is hard to look at all the glove variations I used to have but at least I am still here to share the hobby with you guys.
Thanks for caring.
Dave
