    Description

    Vtg Rawlings Bob Swift Catcher's Mitt Baseball Glove Professional Model 40/50's?
    Bob Swift played in the 40's and 50's. He is also known for being
    in one of the most famous photographs in American sporting history.
    You might check out the story about him catching for Eddie Gaedel
    on August 19, 1951, during the Detroit Tigers playing the St. Louis
    Browns. It was quite interesting.
    There  is no INK or MARKER on the leather or under the wrist strap.
    Cloth patch is intact.
    The mitt is old and has wear from age and use. The rawhide lacing is broken near
    the top of the thumb area (as shown).
    The Rolled-Leather Piping manifests moderate wear, commensurate with
    honest use.
    There is no webbing going across by the thumb (not sure if there ever was).
    Overall for its age it's in in decent condition.  We are selling this as-is, as-found,
    for display use only, and not for actual use.
    Please use zoom feature when viewing pictures. Pictures are part of description.
    Please make sure your shipping address is correct prior to purchase;
    we can not change it for you once you have purchased the item.  Thx.
    Just a note to say some USPS/FedEx/UPS shipping delays have been occurring lately.

    should occur. Peddlers Picks
