Congrats Chris! Love the snapper of Satch!

While I rarely deviate from my pursuit of 19th C. equipment and imagery, sometimes an item comes along that�s too nice to pass up. For me, those such pieces have to be associated with the NY teams and players of the 1950s and, in this instance, it was a Willie Mays glove.

Just this past week I added this superb MacGregor, G105, Mays personal model glove. It�s big, soft, supple, high quality, and stamped deeply with a pristine mfg patch to boot.

Beautiful glove Jon. I still have my Macgregor Mays �WM� personal model I bought in 1958. Yours has the next generation web I think.

Thanks, Bruce…and, I’d love to see the WM model sometime, too. From what I can gather, the patch on mine dates it to the 1956-1958 timeframe. That said, I do have to admit that I don’t have as much experience with MacGregors as I do with Rawlings products, so a bit more fact finding to do before I can say 56’, 57’, or 58’ or some other year all together.

I must say that I would like to see a thread reflecting examples of high grade/personal model gloves from the stars of the 1950s. Maybe that’s the next rainy day project for me

That's a really nice one, Ed. Congrats!
FYI, I'm actually still looking for one of these Sandy Koufax pinbacks if anyone has one to sell
