MINT Curt Simmons 1950’s Draper & Maynard Baseball Glove

Presented here is a spectacular MINT Curt Simmons Draper & Maynard Baseball Glove from the 1950’s, a beautifully preserved example tied to one of baseball’s great pitchers. This outstanding glove represents the post-war excellence of the storied D&M brand, showcased through both elite craftsmanship and player-endorsed design.

The glove remains in mint, unused condition, an extraordinary feat for a piece now more than seven decades old. Crafted from high-grade, rich brown leather, the surface displays a smooth, clean finish with absolutely no signs of game use or break-in. The leather remains firm yet supple, retaining its original factory shape and impressive visual presence.

Stamped crisply into the palm is the bold Draper & Maynard (D&M) trademark, accompanied by the desirable Curt Simmons facsimile endorsement. Both markings remain bold, sharp, and perfectly legible. The original lacing is tight and untouched, the finger stalls retain their factory form, and the wrist strap remains perfectly intact.

Curt Simmons, a standout with the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, was among the most respected pitchers of his era, and D&M player-endorsed gloves from this period are increasingly difficult to locate — especially in true mint condition.

This glove stands as a representation of the intersection of craftsmanship, player legacy, and pristine preservation. This is a truly elite example for the collector of vintage baseball gloves and antique baseball memorabilia. Please call directly or email coreyleiby@comcast.net with any questions or concerns.
