Vintage1011, did a little more research and found a few advertisements for crescent webless gloves from 1905 to 1910. Not Spalding, but Reach, but I believe Spalding owned Reach. They were all lower end boys/youth models. So my best guess is you don't have an 1890s webless, but rather a 1905-1910 webless crescent boys fielders model. Still a great glove and gift from your wife and Ill stick with the ~$800 value. Other glove experts may chime in with more info.
