If the condition looks to good to be true watch out since Akadema reissued the 12a glove as a modern collectable a few years ago. If you could post a picture it would help greatly. The reissue is discontinued but still not worth much they retailed for about $70 and you could buy them for much less than retail in the past.

here are some photos. sorry there from my phone. Face very visible this was called the triple face glove. ACCORDING TO THE WAY FACE IS DONE ON THIS GLOVE MAKES IT A 20S MODEL AND POSSIBLY A DOUBLE FACE WHICH WAS 21 AND CHANGE AT THE TIME. PRETTY PRICEY.12A very visible as is Cochrane which is partially blocked by the sun.Mickey is worn off. needs good cleaning.couldn't tell pliability since it was sitting in 10 degree weather.how rare is this glove? Left it for 185.00 but still can get it. HELP! WHAT TO DO

Kevin is the price negotiable? At $185 the profit to resell wouldn't be great. If you are keeping for yourself I think the price is fair IMO but I'd still try to bargain.

Hey Kevin,

This Mickey Cochrane Reach 12A Double Face mitt dates to 1929. You wouldn't hate yourself at all at $185. It's a top of the line model and it looks nice (the back anyway). If you would consider it a keeper, I would get it. Why get it to try to make a few bucks, which in my opinion, would be difficult. It's a great model and the only one I have ever seen.
