Description: Rare and Important tipped finger workman’s style baseball glove c.1880’s. Along with fingerless baseball gloves this style is considered the pinnacle of early gloves with less then 5 known including the offered piece. LHT model in unrestored original condition, no visible manufacturer markings. Well used glove retains ‘tipped’ leather finger pads and portions of its’ original crescent pad heel. Asbestos lining has had some repairs over the years but remains presentable, glove has a few areas where the stitching is beginning to separate but is very much intact. It is truly remarkable that any of these gloves survived after being used over 100 years ago and the offered example was obviously a very special and well preserved object to generations of baseball players: VG
