I bought a nice little Reach glove off eBay. I think it's from the 1950s or early 1960s, and I have a couple questions.
1. The glove is stamped with a triangle logo and "Geo. A. Reach Co." is stamped in the palm. Below that, the palm is stamped, "Not connected with any other corporation." Why was this done? I've' seen this on other Reach gloves before, and I've always wondered about it.
2. The Pat. No. is 2231204. I cant' figure out when this glove was made or if it's for baseball or for softball. The pinky is a bit thicker than some 1950s MacGregors I have, but everything else seems to be about the same size. There's no endorsement on it.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I love this board.
