Spectacular early 1900s leather gloves are the arm’s length type that come all the way down. Of exceptional quality the leather is still mostly soft and supple. Manufacturer’s name on the tags have worn to where they cannot be read. But overall condition is very good if not excellent. Gloves are brilliantly shadow box framed with original pen & ink by the famed sports cartoonist Bob Edgren, most famous for his feud with gunfighter turned journalist Bat Masterson. Appearing in the New York Evening World, it shows Ketchel grappling with Joe Thomas during their 32-rounder (September 2, 1907). 14x20” and laminated.
