On the subject of baseball glove boxes, see picture of a Rawlings baseball glove box No. G375. but no glove. I checked the VBG Vintage Source Book and find Rawlings Catalog 1948 shows G375 Skeeter Webb. I find this at Baseball Library.com:
Skeeter was a 5'9" 150-lb, light-hitting infielder who, thanks to his fine glove, WWII, and, perhaps, his father-in-law, managed to play in 12 major league seasons. He saw much action with the White Sox during the WWII player shortage. Traded to Detroit after the 1944 season, he married manager Steve O'Neill's daughter, and was the shortstop for the 1945 World Champion Tigers. The VBG Pocket Price Guide indicates it as "very rare"
