This vintage mitt is a great addition to any sports memorabilia collection and is sure to impress fans of all ages. This mitt is one of the earliest versions of a mitt designed to give some relief to the baseball catcher. This glove is made of horsehide leather and help together by a canvas rim around the glove. The shiny side of the glove is where a cloth partition was sewn in to hold the left hand during the baseball game. That cloth partition did not survive but the rest of the glove is well over 100 years old. This glove is priceless and would be the conversation piece for your man cave or shadow box. A piece of leather was sewn onto the palm of the either for extra protection or a needed repair only adding to its character. As a history teacher I would love to know who used this glove and where? Thanks for looking at my collection. If you have any questions feel free to ask. RIX
