Wilson Jim Piersall Personal Model Ball Hawk 1958
(NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
Vintage Baseball Glove/Mitt: (circa 1958) USA made Wilson A2940 button-back Ball Hawk measures 8"x 9" and is endorsed by Jim Piersall, 1950 - '67 (facsimile signature on pinky above cursive stamping: “Personal Model”). The photos pretty much describe the glove’s condition and features. As for what you can’t see or might not notice: Well-padded thumb, heel, and pinky; fingers lightly padded; no padding in pocket. Leather feels uncommonly soft, smooth, and firm yet flexible. No holes, rips, or tears inside or out; shows normal wear. Leather lining chaffed and checked yet feels smooth and comfortable. Heel and pocket lacing original; fingers and web have been relaced. Thick rolled leather piping in very good condition. Brass button shows little tarnish. Easy-to-read stampings. No previous owner’s markings anywhere. Nice little '58 Piersall personal model displays well, feels good to wear, and is enjoyable to use. Has been cleaned and conditioned.
