Hweb pics for Toad

Beautiful gloves from all!

My initials are "BS" and I would love to have that glove. If you want to send it to its "rightful owner" I'd be glad to cover the postage!

On the Evans glove- I wonder what those two open holes along the thumb are for? It almost looks like the shell was made to accomodate an "I" bar type web, only there are not any corresponding holes along the index finger.

Took a chance......what appeared too far gone........

Interesting, I have a "Doc"Medich gamer with the same (extra holes). The web is unique.....

The H-Web, along with the Modified Trap-eze, is my favorite web. We've all seen the pic of Mantle wearing a Rawlings glove with an H-Web that has the middle vertical strap replaced with a spiral "post" of lacing. Does anyone have a pic of a similar glove? Any idea how that is done, from the removal of the original leather to making the spiral post.

[quote="worldwin"]Beautiful glove...

Just seems odd that an outfielder like Evan who used to use a large Wilson would use a Rawlings infield glove...


I'm pretty sure Dwight Evens was always a Rawlings guy. I even recall Sport Magazine feature on players and their gloves and they went to Dwight and feartured his Rawlings and mentioned he uses a small glove compaired to most outfielders.
Perhaps you were thinking of Darrel Evens? he used Wilson at both 3rd and 1st base.

Check out this link for a piece of evidence supporting Evan's use of the Rawlings H-web:

This image is a painting, obviously based on a photograph. But check out the glove in Dewey's locker!

Evans was a Wilson endorser, on their store-bought models, and the records indicate that he also endorsed gloves for Macgregor and Regent. This certainly wouldn't be the first case of a player endorsing a glove for one company, yet prefering the glove of another for game use.

Wonder if he ever had to sew a Wilson patch over the Rawlings label on his glove!

I should have posted this pic the other day, so theres no confusion. Evans did the two finger in the pinky trick that outfielders seem to prefer. I do remember seeing a Dewey Wilson XLO on one of the big time auction houses last year...didn't look quite right. Maybe I'll snag this pic off ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/DWIGHT-EVANS-AUTOGRAPH-8X10-PHOTO-BOSTON-RED-SOX_W0QQitemZ280164554075QQihZ018QQcategoryZ27265QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The Rawlings looks bigger than I thought, and it appears that he did use that model. But he started out using Wilson gloves, along with his outfield mates as this photo shows.



The Wilson that Lynn is using is the same game model of his that I have.

Now...if only someone can come up with a Rice gamer...that would be sweet!

Very nice stuff guys

Glove-Works,

Very nice job on the glove that you thought was a goner. What really amazes me is how you can restore much of the color and eliminate alot of what appears to be cracking of the leather. I'll post a question in the glove repair/restoration section.

When I get some time I will try to post pics of my H-webs.

I have 2 Musial H-webs, both Leftys One is amazing. I have it autographed by Musial in silver sharpie, with a pic of him signing it. I have the pen he signed it with. I have the Box, the Picture, list of records, and Rawlings book that accompanied the glove in the box. I also have advertixements, and a Rawlings Trade publication dedicated to the SM6 (it is also autographed). And I actually have some amazing Art that is a reproduction of a SM6 Add


Hey H-web, Is one of your SM6's a Boog Powell SM6. I have been looking for one for some time. I have a printing block from a sporting goods store that is Boog Powell SM6 and would like to add the glove

[spedrunr]

[H-webman]

No I dont have a Boog SM6 but, like you have been on the look out for many moons.
