Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:28017657 |
A more knowledgeable Ebayer than me has informed me of the correct year, brand and model number of this glove. His feeling is that the model number of the glove is SWF16, and at closer inspection, he is correct. The glove has issues but is a very difficult to find duck web baseball glove. The pictures are a good representation of the glove's problems; the tears in all four fingers, and those in the third and fourth finger being rather large. Though worn and rough the pocket of th...e glove appears to have no holes. The thumb leather is heavily scuffed but also has no holes that I can see. The lining shows cracks and holes and the finger stall lining is torn and you can see your third, fourth, and fifth fingers when the glove is on your hand. The thumb side of the web that connects to the first finger is stitched. It looks to have been done strictly as a precaution though. All four of other webs look great. Surprisingly, the leather piping is in fantastic condition considering the rest of the glove; and...the glove is really soft. Can get no manufacturer from the label; it is worn and hard to read, but it looks like what I can see is "tham, " and looks to be blue and yellow which my informant says is the correct color for a Simmons glove. The button is generic. Not sure if this was a child's glove; it is only 8" x 8". Yes, this glove has seen better days. It was definitely well played with, but it is still pretty neat to see one of these rare birds. PayPal please. Shipping will be $15.00.
