Good glove photos are tough to find

Love those colorized photos, too. They're absolutely stunning.

Some 1917 Sox players with Joe Jackson in the center. The one glove in the photo is a King patent-

That 1913 photo of Henri Rondeau is one of my favourites. Helmar makes a nice and big Imperial Cabinet card of it.

Here's the non-cropped original photo:

I agree, the Henri Rondeau is just a classic baseball photo. The Bugs Raymond King patent glove looks to be a full web version. That would be a rare one.

This proportion looks about right.

Looks much better, William. Thanks.

Good point, Mike, I don't think I've ever seen a full web King patent. He played from 1904-1911 and was with the Giants from 1909 on.

Found a couple more. Joe (Jo-Jo) Moore and his 1933 Goudey card-





Jack Kramer from a 1939 Charles Conlon photo and the image in the 1940 Reach Guide-

Mace Brown with a D&M (?) buckleback-



Guy Bush with one of those sewn strap webs, like a Reach OOW-



I always liked his Goudey card. Just wish it had a better view of his glove.

Zach Wheat and another one of those "wish I could get a closer look at that glove" photos-

Some Carl Hubbell pictures from later in his career, late 1930's I think. I don't know who made the glove, but it looks like it has a big, solid web. Maybe it was modified for him.

Don't know if it's the same glove in all the pictures, but this one looks huge-

Greg, I noticed all your Photobucket images are still intact. Did you end up paying their new fee for 3rd party hosting?

[okdoak]

No, I haven't. I don't know if it means that I will lose those images eventually. Photobucket is a big disappointment. They run so much ad content these days and it takes forever to upload and look through my images.
I switched to Imgur awhile ago and like their site much better.

Nice circa 1890 uniforms and equipment. I guess the players have watch fobs hanging from their pocket.


A tipped finger glove and Decker Patent mitt!

Of course the team mascot is a goat.

Sebastopol team photo circa 1900. Nice unis and equipment!

How things change, farm towns no more! Glovecrazy's Kenwood vacation home. He can often be seen horseback riding with Tommy Smothers back in the hills.

Great pics Mike. Love that you found your hometown team. That's cool. Love the goat mascot too. Here's mine.
