	Spalding	42-105	Rocky Colavito	RESTORED	AWEsome glove, and why not? It's a Rawlings TTP with a blue label! ;-) Very thick and stout. Some faint ink on the back, looks like autographs/sigs but I can't make them out. Fully restored by Kenny, this glove is SOLID. Oh, and very rare too. :-)
	Rawlings	XPGP	None	Ex++ (Restored)	Just a great glove. Completely restored with new lining, lacing, binding, patch, loops, reshape - all the goodies. Just the faintest of an illegible name, barely noticeable. With all the new "construction" and leather, this feels (and smells) like a NEW glove, and you will probably have to break it in a bit. It's outstanding.
	Reach	Professional	None	Ex	Top of the Line 1" web glove from the late 1910s. Little use, THICK leather and super smooth lining, very faint silver in stamp, reads "Reach Professional", Reach logo, "Pat'd 1915". Has some age issues of cracking (esp. wrist strap) but overall a beauty. Feels great on the hand.
	Wilson	602	None	Ex+++	This is a BEAUTY. Very soft, verrry smooth, very puffy, very cool! Top-quality "Seamless Thumb" model from the 40s. Great lather, nice and thick, Another GREAT glove. You'll love it.
	Goldsmith	UN	Elmer Riddle	Ex++	Let's face it, there are a million Elmer Riddle gloves out there. BUT, this is a BEAUTY. Very soft, verrry smooth, very puffy, very cool! Typical Goldsmith Riddle high-quality military issue, date stamped "U.S. 8-1945" - probably US Navy. Great lather, nice and thick, Another GREAT glove. Take it to the ball game!!!
	Rawlings	5BD	Bill Doak	Ex+	There are also lots of Bill Doak gloves out there. BUT, this is a BEAUTY. Very thick leather, yet soft, verrry smooth lining, very cool! Awesome stampings with LOTS of Silver left, and a near perfect "Rawlings patch on the back. Great lather, nice and thick, another GREAT glove. Take it to the ball game!!!
	JC Higgins	1626	Harry "The Hat" Walker	Ex+	Very nice and soft Harry Walker glove. Smooth leather inside and out, wrinkly soft glove leather lining, weak but readable stampings. Some vintage names on the strap, but even so - it's another great glove to sit and pound on while watching the ALCS/ALDS or World Series! Another NICE glove.
	Spalding	1151	Warren Hacker	Ex+	Another awesome example of probably the best 50s Spalding glove made. No surprise, though - this glove was made by Wilson for Spalding. Top line quality large, thick leather glove. Weak stamping, but feels great on the hand. Take it to the ball game!
	Spalding	1151	Warren Hacker	Ex+	Great example of probably the best 50s Spalding glove made. No surprise, though - this glove was made by Wilson for Spalding. Top line quality large, thick leather glove. Weak stamping, but still feels nice on the hand despite a 2 holes in the lining (thumb/forefinger area). Take it to the ball game!
	J. C. Higgins	1668	Chas. Gehringer	Ex	Great little glove of "The Mechanical Man" of the Tigers infield. Except for the ball point pen (that will come off, I'm told), this glove is in great shape: smooth soft lining, smooth outside leather, and deeeep stamping.
	Nokona	??	??	Ex	What a hunk of leather this is! And a pocket so deep that the ball disappears! Most of the stamping can't be read (typical Nokona), but "U.S. Army" can be faintly seen. The wrist strap button missing long ago, but the "repair" works great, and complements the feel of this Great Nokona quality glove, with triple tunnel web - a great pounder. Take this one to the ball game!
	Rawlings	XPG3	Warren Spahn	Restored	This is an another earlier version of the venerable XPG3 from the 1960s. Large Solid Web, V-anchoring, Snugger wrist, etc. Completely restored, great glove. (I have the original web, which is still fine; Kenny just had an extra and decided to put it in.)

	Wilson	602	None	Ex+	Very soft, verrry smooth, very puffy, very cool! Top-quality "Seamless Thumb" model from the 40s. Great lather, nice and thick, and with a faint AUTOGRAPH of Bob Feller. Another GREAT glove.

	Rawlings	EM	Eddie Mathews Heart of the Hide	Restored (partial)	This is a nice example of a later-model EM, with the hinged heel and HOH stamping. This one has been relaced, reshaped, and rebound, and a new patch added. The stampings are oh-so deeply burned in. The glove feels a little stiff, probably from lack of use. Cool glove.
	Rawlings	XPG3	Warren Spahn	Restored	This is an earlier version of the venerable XPG3 from the 1960s. Completely restored, great glove.
	Wilson	A2000 - 508	None	Ex+	This is a nice USA Shooting Star Wilson A2000 (true) pro-stock (#508) glove. A larger glove, like a pitcher's model, perhaps. Completely relaced and reconditioned by Mike @ Glove-Works, and a fine job Mike did! Inside and out, soft and smooth and strong. You could play catch with this one! Very slight surface stitching/welting separation over index finger.
	Wilson	A2170	None	Ex	Classic 2-finger, but of better quality with ALL leather binding, etc. This one has an incredibly soft. buttery feel to it. The inside leather is especially soft and wrinkly.
	Rawlings	MMP	Mickey Mantle	Ex-	Called by some the "Holy Grail" of Mantle gloves, this MMP Mickey Mantle Personal Model is in decent shape with very soft and supple exterior leather, and good stampings. The lining has roughness and a hole up in one of the fingers, but it's a great and worthy candidate of a relace/clean by one of the repair experts like Kenny Jenkins or Mike @ Glove-Works.
	Rawlings	MM	Mickey Mantle	Vg	Again, called by some the "Holy Grail" of Mantle gloves, this MM is in restorable condition with very soft and supple leather, and readable stampings. Lacing needs to be redone, as does the binding and the patch. Still, a worthy candidate of a relace/clean by one of the repair experts like Kenny Jenkins or Mike @ Glove-Works.
	Spalding	1061	Sal Maglie Personal Model	Ex	Semi-tough endorsement of Sam "The Barber" Maglie, and even moreso as a Personal Model. Very soft and smooth exterior leather, with some alligatoring on the lining, but still feels ok. Faded bit of ink on the back of middle finger. Nice bowl shape, and nice stamping.
	Spalding		Dave Williams	Ex-	RARE Endorser, let alone a Personal Model, with the V-anchoring, etc. Generally intact all around, except for a rather worn patch on the strap. Some ink, but this one will clean up nicely.
	Nokona	J113	Gene Clough	Ex+	Great-looking "totally 50s" 3-finger Nokona with very nice deep orange leather, and still a bunch of silver in the stamping. The lining is a bit scratched/peeling in the palm/heel, which is odd because it doesn't look like it was used much. Very soft overall. Cooool glove.
	Wilson		Jim Busby	Ex-	Cool (odd) glove design with the notched heel - probably an early attempt to overcome the 50s donut heel. Has most of the cool Red White and Blue patch. Smooth insides, will look NICE cleaned up!
	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!
	Rawlings	HSP	Herb Score Personal Model	Ex-	This is a decent example of arguably Rawlings' BEST glove in the 50s. Large glove, top-of-the-line, and feels good on the hand despite some checking in the lining. Relaced fingers, but needs a relace on the (stained) web. Overall an affordable example - leave your NrMt one at home, and play catch with this one!
	Rawlings	XPG-6	Mickey Mantle Personal Model Heart of the Hide	Ex	Here is a pretty decent XPG6 Mickey Mantle HOH Personal Model. Overall, the outside leather is very soft and smooth, and the stamping is good. Original laces. You could leave it as is, or send it to Kenny Jenkins to make it REALLY a beauty.
	Rawlings	DCT (LHT)	Mickey Mantle Personal Model Heart of the Hide	Vg-	Well. This poor, abused, yet exceedingly rare Mantle DCT needs a good home. Not only has it been amateurly "relined" and "rebound" (yuck, I'm spoiled with Kenny's work), but it has been viciously relaced. If that weren't enough, it's a lefty. If you don't have a DCT Mantle HOH in your collection, here's a filler for you!
	Rawlings	XPG3 Heart of the Hide	Warren Spahn	Ex	This is an earlier version of the XPG3 with Solid Web, V-Anchoring, Flex-O-Matic palm. Perfect candidate for a Kenny Jenkins restoration!
	Wilson	A2000	None	Ex+	Another nice USA Shooting Star Wilson A2000, but this one smaller, more like an infield glove. Again, completely relaced and reconditioned very nicely by Mike @ Glove-works. Pinkly loop is missing the tie strings, and there a bit of binding wear at the heel, but not very noticeable. Inside and out, this glove is smooth and soft and solid! Another great catch glove.
	MacGregor-Goldsmith	HC	Dixie Walker	Ex+	Super soft and smooth puffy splitfinger of this famous Cardinal (and Rochester Red Wing). Lining is beautiful, stampings are great, extra padding on this high-quality glove!
	Rawlings	LF	Lonny Frey	Ex	Top-line splitfinger from the 40s, with soft leather and a nice patch. Very weak stampings, and some checking to the lining, but still very soft. Name along thumb. Every collection's gotta have an LF!
	Wilson	615	None	Ex	The ubiquitous (and awesome) Wilson wartime-era glove. Nice feel to this one, and it will clean up beautifully.
	Hutch	40?	Harry Craft	Ex++	Wow - this one's a beauty. High quality Hutch with super-soft (all) leather, and a decent patch. Great glove.
	J. C. Higgins	1668	Chas. Gehringer	Ex	Great little glove of "The Mechanical Man" of the Tigers infield. Except for the ball point pen (that will come off, I'm told), this glove is in great shape: smooth soft lining, smooth outside leather, and deeeep stamping.
		GH	None	VG+	Nice example of a 20s/30s glove. very deep stampings, and would clean up nicely. Some surface cracking in the lining, and some ink on the outside. Palm lined model. Still, a decent affordable example that will clean up nicely.
	Rawlings	Doak	Bill Doak	Vg	This is an early (1922) "Bill Doak" glove with 3 (three) cloth labels: Rawlings, Bill Doak, and "Lowe & Campbell Sporting Goods" (above the opening on the back). This glove is pretty much intact, but is STIFF like 90% of the other early pattern Doaks.
	Rawlings	XPG3	unendorsed (rare)	Restored	This is the venerable XPG3 from the mid-70s with the relatively tough non-endorsement. Completely restored, no ink.
	Rawlings	XPG3	Brooks Robinson	Restored	This is an similar (yet endorsed) version of the venerable XPG3 from the 1960s. Completely restored, great glove.
	Wilson	1622	(NONE) "Professional"	Ex	This is a VERY cool 2-finger glove, with a potentially interesting history: That it might have belonged to the famous Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice, the football star from UNC. Take it to the ball game! For a 2-finger, this is broken in perfectly, and is ready for catch!. ALL leather, including binding.
	Wilson	A2144	Harvey Kuenn	Vg+	High quality, very soft and supple, could use some conditioner. some fraying to the wrist binding. Rare Red White Blue patch.
	Rawlings	XPG3 Heart of the Hide	Brooks Robinson	Ex	Nice condition, stamping light, but well broken in, ready for play or collect. Flex-O-Matic, Bas-ket Web, laced wriststrap.. Feels great on the hand!
	Rawlings	XPG3 Heart of the Hide	Ken Boyer	Vg+	This is an earlier version of the XPG3 with Solid Web, V-Anchoring, Flex-O-Matic palm. Needs relacing, mainly but another perfect candidate for a Kenny Jenkins restoration!
	Wilson	A2034	Lefty Gomez	Ex+++	Fantastic example of probably the best 50s Wilson glove made. Top line quality large, thick leather glove. Good stamping, completely relaced, feels great on the hand. Take it to the ball game!
			Chas. Gehringer	Vg-	This glove barely says Chas. Gehringer, BUT is has a very interesting back design (like WingTip fingers!) and web. Rough shape, but it's a Gehringer.
	Wilson	604	none	Vg+	Nice top-line Splitfinger Wilson, huge fat fingers, cool Seamless Thumb design. Very soft and quite smooth, great feel on hand. Tough model.
	Olympic		none	Vg	AUTOGRAPHED by Walter Cronkite! I have not COA, but it looks consistent with other Cronkite sigs I've seen. The glove is rough inside, but very soft and pliable outside. Great conversation piece. Guaranteed, YOU will be the only guy on your block with a Cronkite auto'd baseball glove. :-)

	Lowe & Campbell		(I forgot!)	Vg-	Another example of the classic "oven mitt" 1B first base mitt from the 20s/30s. Neat looks that screams 20s, with thick leather outside, but pretty rough inside. Good wall-hanger or decorative piece conversation starter.
	Reach	2R	none	Vg+	Great example of the classic "oven mitt" 1B first base mitt from the 20s/30s. Fantastic looks that screams 20s, with soft leather outside, a little rough inside. Another great conversation piece for your office, study, etc....
