| | Rich Natural Leather Victory Line Baseball Glove from Past Time Sports $68.95 Rich natural leather color Victory Glove... Think of the era of Cobb, Shoelace Joe, Tinkers to Evers to Chance and the early Babe, Honus Wagner, and many others. They all had to handle wicked line drives and sizzling grounders in the earliest gloves just like this one. The gloves of this time period were much smaller and they were called split finger gloves as there was no webbing between the fingers. Now you know why they always said Two hands, Two hands. Handling a baseball in those days took tremendous skill and toughness as there was little padding in the first gloves. This beautiful natural leather style early teens and 20s style glove is our biggest seller. So authentic that they have been sold at the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown! Early vintage baseball gloves have become almost extinct. When found they bring museum prices. Past Time Sports makes commemorative replicas of the great baseball gloves of the early golden years of baseball. The Victory, the natural leather Double Play and The Victory Black Jack model gloves are exact duplicates of the great fielders gloves of the 1920's decade. They are hand stitched and hand sewn exactly like many of the early gloves were made. Made from an exact pattern taken from an original old glove. They were smaller than the modern day gloves by far. The fielders of the early years of baseball had to rely more on their hand and eye coordination and acrobatic abilities to stab line drives and hot grounders that sizzled through the infields and out fields of ball parks all over the nation. From the back street lots of the small towns of America to the upper decks of the big city stadiums, the simplicity and beauty of the early old baseball gloves of our National Pastime endeared themselves into the hearts of all of America. This old glove is a great gift idea or trophy idea for those who love baseball and its origins and great players of long ago. Righty style only! |
