Up for sale is a rare, museum-quality pair of Vintage Champion Model 287 SUPER TIGER Handball Gloves. These are New Old Stock (NOS) from the late 1960s/1970s and remain in their original factory packaging. Finding the 287 model in the "Super Tiger" trim is extremely difficult, especially in this pristine, unused condition.

Why the "Super Tiger" 287 is the Gold Standard:

• Premium Wild Deerskin: Unlike standard goatskin or cowhide, wild deerskin is naturally "tacky" for a superior grip on the ball. It is exceptionally soft and provides a "second-skin" feel.

• Washable Performance: These gloves were engineered to stay soft. Even after heavy use and sweat, they are designed to be hand-washed and will dry supple rather than stiffening up.

• Model 287 Heritage: The 287 is legendary among handball enthusiasts for its perfect anatomical fit and court-proven durability.

• Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured by the Champion Glove Co. in Des Moines, Iowa, during the peak of American sporting goods quality.
