1940s Bucky Walters JC Higgins Baseball Glove With Original Box Model #1617 Cincinnati Reds. Tired of looking at sub-par gloves on Ebay? Well here is your chance to own a great glove/box combo which sat in an attic for almst 75 years! The glove has minimal usage as insicated by the original paint still present on at least 60% of the writing. The leather looks and feels fresh and supple. Stitching is tight and black border is intact with only minor cracking for its age. The leather cord...s are original and plyable. Basically, one of the nicest used gloves i've seen from this era. If that wasnt enough, the glove comes with the original box from Sears & Roebuck. The box has no bug damage - no mildewing - no water damage - no holes. There is some light staining as to be expected on an eighty year-old paper box as shown. However, the condition is remarkable considering it was most likely kept in a garage or storage shed most of its exeistance. Bucky Walters, a 6x all-star, world series champion, pitching triple crown winner, N.L MVP, Reds HOF, and mamy other accolades Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
