I was flying down the road in 1957 but in a Chrysler New Yorker, borrowed from my parents of course. I was more into Fats Domino and was playing my senior year of high school baseball with, to the best of my memory, a JG
Rawlings model. I did find the first Kangaroo glove I'd seen that summer, a Nokona that I loved.
The Spalding Personal Models from that era do seem to be more scarece than the Rawlings and Wilson PMs. The HSP had a narrower production span than the HH, according the glove catalog source book (hint). And find a Roy Sievers RSP model?
Hate to admit this, I own a Gus Bell GC10 and like the poster, I haven't seen a lot of these.
I remember about 10 years ago, I almost fainted when I found a mint Frank Bolling personal model Spalding in mint condition.
