Two popular McGregor gloves from the 1960's.
A model KCX pitchers model glove sold for $499. A TOTL model and the most expensive retail glove at the time.

A model KC2 outfielders model sold for $399. Another TOTL Kangaroo hide glove.

A 1930's Higgins Pie Traynor glove with original picture box sold for $750. Another case where the box is worth multiples of the glove.

Antique Athlete sold this Edward Tryon mitt for $950. You are getting a lot for the money. It is a model 88 and was one of Tryon's best mitts at the time. It has a lot of cool features including patented lace heel, reinforced perimeter band, flat top design, arrow head wrist strap and patented grommet web. The mitt looks very close to what Stall & Dean were making circa 1908. To top it off, the mitt is in super condition with soft and supple leather and the rare blue Tryon tag.

A 1964 Rawlings Big 8 glove with picture box sold for $2350. Another case where the box is judged to be worth multiples of the glove. Hunt's Auctions wrote up some nonsense about cutting up the box and hand cutting the player cards, touting they would be worth thousands. Just BS of course because the box top is heavily worn and creased making the cards except the Mantle, mostly worthless. A far better PSA graded 1 Poor Mantle card sold for $675 in the past. A pretty nice $150 glove though.

A 1930's Brine Bill Werber glove sold for $65. It's a nice glove featuring tunnel webbing reminiscent of the Rainey Trap web.

A couple of nice lefty gloves from the same seller. First up, a near mint Macgregor G101 Willie Mays PM from 1959 sold for 189.50. Next a near mint Nokona GP2 Roy Face from 1957 sold for $76.00. Both were near TOTL gloves in their day.

A Rawlings CMP HOH basemans mitt from 66-67 went for $99.99. Catalog listings show it as a Bill White PM. Hard to tell from the faint stampings if this glove was endorsed or not.
