Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Here is a pretty are Spalding model 42-213 Jim Bouton personal model glove. This was only made in two years (1966 and 67 I believe). Glove is very large and was the top of the line model. There is no ink on the glove but it has been relaced. Leather is a little stiff and the inner lining is rough. Stampings visible but not super strong. There is a gouge in the pocket that is just about the signature. Wear on leather where original owner put index finger on back. Overall, not too bad for a shelf sitter - probably would need to be relined if you wanted to use it for play. $95 shipped - it goes on eBay Wednesday night if I haven't sold it.

Note, Rawlings was making Spalding gloves at this time and this is the same basic pattern as the Rawlings Mantle XPG6 what Rawlings called its "Triple Action web." Several major leaguers used this type Spalding model.
