FS: Jimmy Brown endorsed G20 model issued by MacGregor ....
Posted: December 10th, 2008, 12:34 amGoldsmith. The history of this company as it evolved from Goldsmith to MCGregor Goldsmith then to simply McGregor puts this model in the mid 1940's, probably after 1944.
Jimmy Brown was a solid infielder for the St. Louis Cardinals who didn't reach the majors until he was 27 years old, playing seven seasons before enlisting in the Air Force in 1943. At the age of 36 years old he returned from the war and played only a partial season as a utility man with the Pirates before retiring. He then had a long second career as a coach and manager in the majors and minors. He made the All-Star team in 1942, and St. Louis won the World Series that same year.
Bretman was kind enough to provide me the above information, Thanks Bretman.
Glove has been cleaned and conditioned and is in great shape. It cleaned up to a beautiful honey color and the markings are quite legible. It has a couple of surface scratches, but no tears. Rated Excellent.
I think this will make a great Holiday gift and will accept offers until around the 17 or 18th of December so I can get it to you by Christmas. Please E mail me at johnny.torrez@comcast.net . I will respond to all offers and inquiries.
Please see additional pictures in the discussion forum. Thanks, --Johnny
