US Army issue Baseball Glove

**Steinar** · 10-24-2013, 02:24 PM

Hello,

I just bought this glove, unfortunately I can only take better pictures when I have him with me.
I play baseball myself so I had to buy it immediately when I got offered it.
Is it possible to define this glove?
U.S. Army?
1930?
1940?

If I should be wrong in this on our forum, please excuse. Maybe you can move the thread then.

Thanks in advance

US army ww2 1940s.

This was only for overseas troupes if I remember correctly.

Thank you Chris! Great information, which makes me happy!

As these pieces are priced to assess?

I hope I have not paid too much

That sounds very good, I paid € 20.
I will definitely keep it and put it in my display case.
I will also show even better pictures once I have it.

Thanks you!

I read about these in a UK vehicle magazine a while ago and have wondered what one looked like ever since, so thanks for posting. At 20 Euros I would have snatched the guys hand off

Here some more equipment.

I love this stuff. I myself am catcher on my team so I particularly like it. Thank you for showing these things

That's what I did. The glove was 1 minute in net when I saw him I knew to beat

I posted a thread about a Louisville Slugger that my Grandfather was given by soldiers during the War. Unfortunately it is not US marked that I can see, but the provenance is solid

So, if you get the stuff that Chris has posted as well and possibly a bat, you will have a pretty unique mannequin
