Posted By: <b>brock</b><p>Dan<br />Nice photos. Like i have said i dont know if you seen it but i only live 10 minutes from Gloversville and Johnstown. My dad and i are still trying to figure out where the old Ken-wel factory was. We are also trying to find those Peach glove signs that sell for 40K+. Again very nice photos.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Brock, believe it or not the lady who owned these photos is 99 years old and lives in Gloversville. She actually worked at the Peach glove factory stuffing mitts. I bought some Yankee photos from her daughter a few months ago and when I realized she lived in Gloversville I asked her if she has anything from the company and she doesn't. I told her to be on the lookout as anything from that company is rare.<br /><br />This is the gal who took these photos (Sister to the 99 year old mentioned above). She had a thing for ballplayers, but she never got married.<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/?action=view&current=joed1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/joed1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />Thanks for posting. I went to elementary and high school in Johnstown NY. Also, I was the co-founder of the Fulton-Montgomery Sports Historical Society. (Johnstown and Gloversville are both in Fulton County).<br /><br />Perhaps one of the most notable players ever to play for the Glovers was Jack McKeon who caught for them in 1950.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Jon, by chance do you have a team photo of the 1939 team that I can use to identify these guys?

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>With all of the old gloves/mitts that turn up (on ebay and elsewhere) how come you NEVER see Peach Brand Gloves. Almost hard to believe they really existed...<br /><br />Does anyone on the forum own / have access to a Peach Glove, for which they could post a picture? I would love to see some images, if so... Thanks!
