Need help from vintage baseball glove experts...might have found a gem
I have come to own a baseball glove that was reported to be a game used 50's era glove of the Milwaukee Braves All Star Catcher Del Crandall. Its a ProModel signature series. A few people I talked to that deal in older gloves told me that several players they are aware of used their own signature model gloves.
I know very little more information about this. Anyone able to tell me what I might need to look for to know if this might truly be a game used glove?
Thanks,
Tom

Heres the photos I was able to get. Again, I know its not in immaculate condition, and for what it took to get it, if I cant authenticate it, no big deal. If its a legit gamer, which it was portrayed to be to be, I think a glove collector should have this in their collection rather than sitting on a shelf at my house.

I have several people looking into this glove and will report what I have found from each of them. wont be disappointed regardless as I think its a nifty little piece that I picked up in my travels.
Thanks all!

Denkert was not known for producing high end gloves and mitts. Made mostly retail and kids gloves. The Denkert Del Crandall is catalogued as 'Very Common'

Game used gloves are tough to identify.

Why don't you try writing to Crandall? He's pretty accessible by mail.
