"Red" Worthington Buckle-back pre-war fielders glove
 

Posted By: <b>Joe Hunter</b><p>Does anyone know anything about "Red" Worthington buckleback fielders mitts. I saw one at an antique store that was fairly worn, but still had visable stamping. It was adult size, had a buckle back with no lacing between the fingers and just a small strip of leather(original lacing was gone) between the thumb and first finger. I would assume it is pre-war. Had a $20.00 price tag so thought I would pick it up if it was worth it.
