This vintage fielders glove has a lot to brag about aside from its relatively benign condition and attractive presentation: some of the brightest stars of the postwar era have added their autographs at various points promptly turning a pedestrian offering into a collectors treasure. The Franklin Slingback model glove is in outstanding condition with all elements intact and seemingly as-issued including the Franklin labeling at the wrist but the fun starts with the various inkings added. With a bold black Sharpie Mickey Mantle has signed on the inside portion of the fourth finger directly above ballpoint pen autographs from Whitey Ford and Stan Musial. As noted the Mantle signature is very bold and clear; Ford and Musial are a bit lighter but still easily discernible. Roger Maris has signed along the outside of the thumb; nearby and closer to the wrist are attractive autographs from Ernie Banks and Phil Niekro the latter with a personalization to person unknown Ray. Pete Rose has signed on the outside of the forefinger and two other signatures appear on the outside of the webbing and on another finger that while quite bold are not legible enough to determine identity.
