Found glove in parents attic

[JSkillz23]

Anyone know history on these? Thought it was pretty awesome. Thinkin of gettin it put in a case and putting it in my bar.

Its a Caprico glove that was made in Japan...anything else youd like to know?

Is that an HOH in the palm?

 

[Stretch19]

this looks like the Jackie Robinson Model they had, the A-399, very similar, only difference being the patch on the wrist area

 

[Stretch19]

This is their '6 Finger Model'

Looks like that one needs to go to Dirty for a relace and freshen up! HAHA!

Nice find!

Any time line when they were made? Thought it was crazy seeing a 6finger that was older. My dad played in the '60's.

6 finger gloves were the norm back then.

thats badass. I would find that guy on here that spiffs the gloves up and get him to make it look damn near new again and put it on your bar. Or send it to me. Your choice.

then my guess is its from the late 1950's or early 1960's

Thanks. I like it. Its pretty sweet.

Start with Lexol brown (several coats, let it dry in between) and see what shape the leather is in. If solid enough, a relace would look sharp and you could even get new padding and lining from John Golumb for $115.

 

[JSkillz23]

I kind of want to keep it all original though.

Then just Lexol (brown bottle). The laces might start falling apart though, so be careful. John Golumb also makes matching laces.

No. The goat/mermaid Capricorn zodiac animal.

What this guy said. I did that with a beat up Rawlings PRO1000H.
