I was wondering if people could take a look at Lelands current auction--lot 525 and give an opinion on this glove. I have a Lazzeri game bat and signed photo but am thinking of trying to add this to the grouping. However, don't know anything about gloves. Thanks for any help.
The COA states the following but not exact wording--
That the glove was acquired by the consignors father after helping Babe Ruth to his quarters (The Ansonia). He dug in his pockets but came up empty for a tip--went to a duffle bag and pulled out the glove indicating that he had taken it from Lazzeri. The consignor was given the glove around 1950 by his father and repeatly told the story of how it was received. Signed and dated with a Notary Public State of New York and signed by the current owner-the consignor.
It looks to be period but any way of telling if it is a professional model. I realize that other than not being there at that time makes it hard to take this any further. Haven't ever dealt with Lelands before. Thanks for any help from any glove collectors out there or anyone who has worked with Lelands!
