1952-53 Gil Hodges Buffalo Athletic Products Store Model 202 Glove with Box

Description

1952-53 Gil Hodges Model 202 1st Baseman's Glove
"The Scooper" -- Buffalo Athletic Products Corporation (BAPCO)
Offered for sale is an original Gil Hodges Glove (model 202) manufactured by Buffalo Athletic Products. The glove has never been used (near mint to mint condition) and comes with the original box. This Shreveport, Louisiana sporting goods company first started producing gloves in the 1930s and introduced a generic line of first baseman's mitts in the early 1950s. Among the players featured were Gil Hodges, Joe Collins, and Gus Triandos. This glove, presumably a youth model, is approximately 11 inches tall and opens to a width of about 9 inches. The box shows minor to moderate wear but is in superior condition to most existing examples (note: several of the insides edges of the box are reinforced with a small amout of tape).
