Absolute one-of-a-kind specimen will cause a feeding frenzy between political and glove collectors, as well as drawing in any-body who likes a unique piece. This pristine "Wilson" glove was manufactured for then-Senator Nixon, who went by the name "Dick" rather than "Richard," as the stamping on the glove would indicate. Use is not visible, as the future prez only wore it for a few moments while throwing out the first pitch at a ball game. It was then returned to its custom walnut box, affixed with a simple plaque on the front reading, "Dick Nixon." The box, too, is NRMT.
