HUGE 10 ½” 1929-1931 Dave Bancroft D&M Fielder’s Glove

Presented here is a HUGE and truly impressive 10 ½” tall Dave Bancroft Draper & Maynard Fielder’s Glove, dating to the 1929–1931 period. This massive glove represents the very top-of-the-line model produced by Draper & Maynard during that era, endorsed by Hall of Fame shortstop Dave Bancroft, one of the premier fielders of his generation.

Crafted of the finest quality tanned leather, this oversized glove exudes the rugged strength and craftsmanship that made D&M the most trusted glove manufacturer of its day. The imposing 10 ½” size immediately sets it apart, along with the highest quality leather used inside, outside and for the binding Design traits that made it ideally suited for professional-caliber play. The glove retains its D&M dog’s head trademark stamping along with the desirable “Bancroft” player endorsement marking, both clearly visible but not strong.

The reverse is equally impressive, featuring the original leather wrist strap and intact button closure, along with supple leather throughout that has aged beautifully with a rich patina.

As the flagship model in D&M’s 1929 catalog, this Bancroft glove embodied the very best in glove design and materials, and examples have always been prized by advanced collectors. Its sheer size, Hall of Fame endorsement, and superb craftsmanship make it a centerpiece for any collection of early baseball gloves.
