Nice glove Mike. Good to know there is another one out there. Which years featured the buckled heel?

That's a good question. The Gibson mitt design was patented in 1913 and the snap button heel in 1912. There is an illustration in a 1913 catalog of the original Gibson mitt like yours with no snap heel. Unfortunately I haven't found Rawlings catalog images from 1914 to 1923 on the website:
www.baseballglovecollector.com. Joe Phillips new Rawlings Catalog Source Book lists the original Gibson mitt along side the snap heel Professional model in a 1922 catalog. I would speculate that the Gibson mitt with snap button heel was introduced between 1914 and 1921. I hope to find a catalog illustration some day. |

I just picked up this original team photo of the 1940 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds featuring Vandy and Ernie Lombardi.
Neat photo, great price on eBay! Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-21-2018 at 05:59 AM. |
