Thanks for the great explanations, William and JD!

I did not realize Fielders Mitts were even rarer than Duck Webs. That said... when was the last time anyone saw either type come up on Ebay? What was the final price (if you can recall?) I search, but never (ever) see them. And the Catalogue Auctions rarely have gloves like this either. Oregon Trail and Mastro-West used to have them, but that was back when Mastro emphasized far more memorabilia than cards.

The other "Novelty Glove" I find attractive and fascinating is the Tornado Palm Glove. Was this swirl-patterned stitching done, just to get a better grip on the ball? How many of these are still around? I think I saw one in the Smithsonian Baseball Book by Wong, but that may be the same one as pictured on JD's site. Thanks again for the great info!
