Up for auction is a fascinating piece of early baseball history. This is an authentic, antique 1910s–1930s era leather baseball mitt (configured as a first baseman's or catcher's mitt). It features the highly sought-after vintage "buckle back" design.

KEY FEATURES & DETAILS:

• Design:Crescent-pad style with heavy perimeter lacing and a classic buckle-back wrist strap.

• Hardware:Features the original metal roller buckle and distinctive pebble-grain textured leather strap.

• Markings:There is a visible geometric/shield-shaped manufacturer stamp on the lower palm area, along with faint player endorsement/model text lines above it (see photos).

• Condition:Sold strictly AS-IS for display, restoration, or collection. The leather shows significant vintage patina, cracking, surface peeling, and heavy wear consistent with a 100-year-old game-used mitt. The stitching and lacing are largely intact structurally, though the leather is brittle. Please review all photos carefully for exact cosmetic condition.
