As for all this leather that I have... I have MANY more (too many more, really) where these came from - all sorts of models, endorsers, and price ranges. So, if you don't readily find what you seek, email me and let me know what you're looking for.

(Sometimes, the price reflects that fact that even though a glove will really clean up nicely, I simply don't have enough time to do it. )

Early gloves
	Rochester Athletic Goods	?	?	Vg	This ca. 1910s FULL-WEB white glove has a very cool vibe. Any stampings are long gone, but under a jeweler's loupe, the tag reads "Rochester Athletic Goods" or something. SUPER soft, has been relined by the Glove Doctor years ago. What you can't see well in the pics is that there is a small hole (looks punched) through the inside edge of the index finger, and a split at the top of the same finger. BUT - neither of which affect the look at all, and it really feels GREAT on the hand, and looks very cool - take it to the ball game for some fun conversation!	SOLD
	Reach	12A "Triple Face"	Mickey Cochrane	Mint/tags	This cool reproduction is done by the Akadema Glove company, who bought the rights/designs/patents to the early "Reach" gloves. This one is NEW, with original bag and tag, signed by the President of Akadema. VERY cool, thick leather, smells great.	$95 Sale $85
Pre-1950 gloves
Stay tuned for MANY more 40s-era gloves. I have a BUNCH of them: Elmer Riddles, Doak Model Hs, Goldsmiths, MW Musial SFs, etc.
	Wilson	A2180	Don Johnson	Near Mint	Another 1940s BEAUTY. Very soft, verrry smooth, puffy, very cool! High-quality leather binding model from the 40s. Great lather, nice and thick, Another GREAT glove. You'll love it. Especially if you're an '80s Miami Vice fan! ;-)	$~~125~~ Sale $95
	Goldsmith	G20	Jimmy Brown	Ex++	This venerable 1940s G20 Jimmy Brown glove is in GREAT shape, and I haven't even cleaned it up. The leather is still very thick from little actual use, and TONS of silver in the stamping. Lining is ssssmooth, too. Great glove. Grab it before I clean it up and decide to keep it! ;-)	$95 Sale $85

Post-1950 gloves
	Rawlings	XPGP	None	Ex+	The AWESOME top-line XPGP from the 1960s, in very nice shape, really solid, all ORIGINAL except relacing, cleaned reshaped - very stout. Some faint marker on the back. Dual Step-Down Palm gloves are my favorite glove design of this era, hands down. (includes XPGP, TGP, TTP).	SOLD
	Wilson	A2000	Shooting Star	Ex++	This great example of the legendary Wilson A2000, with the early "Shooting Star" stamping in the pocket. A super nice glove, top of the line, and always in demand. This particular one has soft leather, inside and out, original laces, and a strong endorsement stamping. If you're looking for a "Shooting Star", this might be the one for you.	$~~250~~ Sale: $195
	Rawlings	HH	Harvey Haddix "The Kitten"	Ex+	This great example of the legendary Rawlings HH glove is in great original shape, and I haven't even cleaned it up! A super nice glove, top of the line, and always in demand. This particular one has soft and thick leather, inside and out, with a great patch, original laces, and a strong endorsement stamping. Slight rub/scuff on model number, and some lace repair, but overall a GREAT glove. Same model as Mantle used. Grab it before I clean it up and decide to keep it! ;-)	SOLD
	Rawlings	XFCB30	Brooks Robinson	NearMint	Like Bill Doak and Elmer Riddle gloves, there are about a million Brooks Robinson XFCB17 and XFCB30 gloves around. Why? Because they were SO popular, and it's easy to see why: nice thick leather, mid-size design, and the ever-popular HOF Brooks as endorser. Everybody wanted to get their own BR glove, and pretend to "own" the Hot Corner. Of all the many BR gloves I've seen over the years, I keep only those of best quality or condition. Condition rules on this beauty, as the pics show. I doubt it's been used but a few times, then tossed into a drawer for the next 30 years. It still needs to be broken in!	SOLD
	Wilson	A2040	Ted Williams Personal Model	Ex+	Wow. This is a great glove, top of the line, and always in demand. This particular one has smoooth leather, inside and out, with a decent patch, original laces, and a strong endorsement stamping. Slight staining in the pocket, but not too bad. Overall a GREAT glove. Every collection has gotta have an A2040 Teddy!	SOLD, BUT I have a number of these - Please ASK!
Professionally Restored Gloves
This is a rather special section. They are all TOP quality Rawlings Heart of the Hide (or equivalent) gloves that have been professionally restored (most of them COMPLETELY) by Kenny Jenkins, who worked for 20+ years at Rawlings, making and repairing gloves.. Complete restoration includes: New lining, binding (piping), lacing, Rawlings patch, pinky/thumb loops, path, and a full reconditioning and reshaping. These are done so well that you will like have to do some light break-in again. Don't be fooled by the price; all you need to do is slip one of these one your hand and smell the "old leather become new". It's like slipping behind the wheel of a completely restored 69 1/2 Dodge SuperBee with a SixPak and lift-off hood. Just awesome. These gloves are designed (and were restored) to be PLAYED with, they are that much like new. But it's hard to bring myself to taking them out and use them, so I only do that with a couple of them (my keepers). I have a limited number of these, and am ready to part with most of them. Click here to ask about other Restored gloves that I might have!
	Rawlings	XPG3	Herb Score	Ex+	Rare 1-yr only Herb Score endorsement on this XPG3 with the desirable Lazy-S palm and solid web. Complete restoration on this (lining, binding, patch, lace, pinky/thumb loops, reshape, etc) and all the new leather makes is smell great too. Typical incredible "new" feel on the hand can' t be beat. Formal samped last name on thumb (mostly removed), same faded stamped name near Snugger area. But still! Tough glove, ready for some vintage catch!	$~~350~~ Sale $325
	Wilson	A2000	Shooting Star	Ex	Early 1960's Shooting Star/"The A2000" model. Total restoration including lacing, lining, binding, etc. Minor ink on the back of one finger Great shape, great feeling on the hand, and a pretty desireable early "Shooter" infielder's glove. A rare Wilson restoration by Kenny.	$~~250~~ Sale $225
