Nice grouping of three store-model catcher's mitts, all in marvelous condition and two of the three bearing facsimile signatures of Hall of Fame backstops. The third mitt, an M200 Leader catcher's mitt from Diamond Manufacturing, reveals minimal wear in the pocket and some scuffing around the edges but is otherwise Ex-Mt. The Bill Dickey Professional model glove is the most pristine of the group, betraying not a whisper of wear anywhere to be found and appearing essentially as it must have looked on the store shelf. Indeed, it is accompanied by a similar untouched advertising sleeve that encircles the mitt, proclaiming a "Famous Player Glove" Pacesetter and showing mug photos of Bobby Thomson, Phil Rizzuto and Dickey. The Hartnett model is virtually the same condition, revealing little or no usage and presenting in a similar fashion to the Dickey glove.
