That handstall looks nasty
thank god
That poor 1786... looks loads better now but still rough.
I do a lot of work on my own gloves, but I don't have many before pics. Here is one that sold on here a while back.
This turned out very nicely!

No kidding. It's amazing what a nice H will do Freddy
Maybe a traditional trap web or mod-trap would look better than an H-web but that Mizzy Y-web is no bueno.
Out of curiousity, what would it cost to have a restoration done to a glove?
I have a first base mitt that my uncle gave me when I was in 6th grade and i used it until I was in my late 20's. It is in rough shape since I was a kid and didnt take care of my stuff and to be honest I still dont know how to take care of gloves properly.
I doubt it is anything special as far as model, but it does have a ton of sentimental value to me since I was so close to my uncle.
Would it be worth putting the time and money in to?
Some guys on here do them at cost and shipping. It'll run run $30-50 depending on the person but its worth it if the glove is worth it to you. Even if not to use, just as a keepsake some find value in a nice restoration.
Thanks for the reply. I think that is a very fair price for something like this and is about what I was quoted in PM from a memeber here. The glove is definetly worth more then that to me.
