Beautiful Rawlings Playmaker model PM1X RHT fielder's glove retaining its' original Rawlings patch on back strap with interior palm stampings remaining visible. Special order non catalogue glove shows perfect light to moderate usage wear and has been well cared for ith supple medium brown leather. Signed on back of small finger pocket in period ink, "To Peter Best Wishes Duke Snider". The glove originated from the family of Dr. Aaron Bluestone who was a dentist in Brooklyn during the 1940-50's era. Dr. Bluestone's neighbor was Brooklyn Dodger Eddie Stanky who recommended the dentist to friend Duke Snider. Upon arriving for one of his appointments with the dentist Duke presented the offered glove to the 10 year old son of Dr. Bluestone "Peter" and until this offering has remained in the family. To our knowledge this is the first Snider game worn glove to become available to the collecting public and based on the provenance and quality of the glove it is difficult to imagine that a finer exemplar could exist. Includes LOA from SCD Authentic David Bushing/Dan Knoll and letter of provenance from the Bluestone family: EX |
