Garbage Can Find
The OP's glove and history are truly extraordinary and one of the best posts on this and the "Old Board"!! In comparison this rather pedestrian offering was retrieved from a can, in 1956 or so while making regular scrap hunts in my growing up Chicago neighborhood with my "tricked out" coaster wagon on garbage pick up day. Besides a radiator, there was a horse collar w/hames and this mitt. No pirates involved, just a nasty elderly competing junk man around the corner. My first baseball item besides cards.
