Danny,
I saw that too! It very well could be his glove, but the bottom line is that nobody can prove that it is in fact his glove. The story it a pretty good one, but you would be buying this beat up glove with only your faith in the story.
You would never be able to prove it and you would not be able to re-sell it with that story attached to it.
The seller is selling the piece at a price that he might get if there was some provenance attached to it, but there isn't. If he was selling it for $100, then maybe you buy and "believe" the story, but once again, there is no way to possibly prove that it was Dummy Taylor's.
I am not a glove expert, but I believe that it dates to that period. For whatever that's worth.
Phil
