Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Nice to start the new year with a super glove. I was surprised this one even lasted 10 minutes. It's a Reach model KG drab buckskin sewn web glove.
The KG started as a King Patent model back in 1914. This glove is probably circa 1924-25 due to the orientation of model number, "Professional Model" and logo in the pocket. No King Patent on this one but still retains the laced heel. It's nice to see a well used top model survivor in great shape. Lucky winner!

A 1970's MacGregor model KCX kangaroo hide glove sold for $400. Always popular and in nice shape. MacGregor sure went "balls to the wall"
with the amount of lacing on their later gloves

A mid 60's Spalding "Roger Maris" Personal Model 42-217 sold for $395. A popular model in fantastic condition. Another one in lesser condition just sold for $257. I personally like the original Maris 42-201 "Full Control Palm" model. That's a rare one!

A1940's Rawlings "Merrill May" glove sold for $197. A rare triple tunnel glove with tied pinky and unique wrist strap. It's in nice shape.

A 1930-40's Rawlings "Dib Williams" glove sold for $225. A great glove made for Bailey & Himes.

A 1940's Rawlings "Bill Doak" 5BD in black leather with box sold for $350. I have a black 5BD. Its a cool glove especially with the box.

A 1940's Honus Wagner Brand glove sold for $75. The glove shows some wear, missing the tunnel webs. It sure has a distinctive double button wrist strap.
Nice patch.

One of my favourite logos. Still can't tell if Honus is riding a bat or not. In my mind he always will be. Kind of like how hockey players ride their sticks after a goal.

Here's a higher quality version of the logo on a matchbook.

A Reach crescent pad glove sold for $1080. It has the wool lining and seems in great shape.

Two KenWel "Dazzy Vance" gloves sold for $600. They both are the lesser known models and both seem in good condition. One sold through retailer James Brine and the other a W.H Brine brand. They were relatives with competing companies. W.H. Brine became well known for Lacrosse and soccer equip.


A really sweet 1920's Goldsmith sewn web "Carl 'Willie' Mays" model XL glove sold for $280. Similar to the Reach model KG, A well used top model survivor in great shape. Nice blue/gold patch, logo button and markings on the front.

An interesting auction. An early crescent pad catchers mitt sold for $293. The front looked just great, the back not so much. The mitt featured a riveted strap joining the thumb to body.

A 1950's Rawlings "Harvey Haddix" model HH sold for $300. Looks to be in real nice shape.

A 1940's Rawlings "Bill Brubaker" model G480 sold for $250. There's a whole bunch of these uncatalogued models that show up. I don't know what that's about.


A 1930's Reach model glove sold for $208. This is a rare one with the unique webbing extending to the middle finger. Not listed as
the "Sam Hale" model but it's right there near the heel of the glove.

A 1920's Spalding model ABX "Stick On The Hand" buckle web base mitt sold for $110. The mitt shows a fair amount of wear but looks intact. It was top of the line in its day.


A 1950's Sonnett "Rube Walker" catchers mitt sold for $167. Looks to be mint condition.

A MacGregor model KC1 kangaroo hide glove sold for $750. Outstanding condition. A duplicate of the WIllie Mays gamer model in the late 60's. Interesting,
no Brunswick logo on the patch.

A Rawlings HOH model XFG1 sold for $250. It looks to be in great shape. This was the same model Roberto Clemente used.

A 1960's Rawlings "Mickey Mantle" XPG6 HOH glove sold for $800. It's in great condition. Although known to prefer the H-Web model, Mantle also used the "Triple Action" web version as well.

A circa 1920 Wilson model 605 "Babe Ruth" glove sold for $1000. This one shows a lot of wear but miraculously the cloth patch and markings in the pocket are really strong. It' a rare model.

A very nice Victor, Wright & Ditson sewn web glove sold for $425. It may be model FBA.
