Here is a vintage 1940's or early 1950's Rawlings Rudy York The Claw Trapper Model T75 baseball 1st baseman's mitt or glove for a RH thrower. The glove has soft leather. The professional mitt is adult size and measures 11" long through the pocket. Quality reddish-brown leather. This model 1st base mitt was made with Rudy York's endorsement on it from 1941-1953. I'm guessing this one was probably late 1940's based on the cloud patch and the fact that it doesn't have the big leather strip that went across the top of the web on later models.There is a faint name on the back of the pinky area and some more very faint writing below that. The inside stamping is hard to read from use. I took some close-up pics of the stamping. A nice intact red Rawlings cloud patch on the back. The leather is still very soft on this quality mitt. Interior leather is soft and smooth. Lacing appears to be original and intact. Leather piping also is soft and overall pretty nice but does show some wear here and there.
Rudy York played from 1934-1945 for the Detroit Tigers and played the 1946 season with the Boston Red Sox He was on the 1945 Detroit Tigers World Series Championship team, and on the 1940 Tigers team that lost the World Series and also on the Boston Red Sox 1946 team that lost in the World Series. He was an All-Star 7 times!
I have other gloves and mitts on eBay ending now and I like to combine shipping whenever possible. If you win more than one glove you'll have to pay the grand total for shipping. But I'll refund you the difference back on the price of combined shipping. Or I'll send out an invoice if possible.
