Julie H asked in SportsBaseball · 1 decade ago

I found an old Franklin 4043 "The Backhander" baseball glove. Anybody know anything about it?

It has a Super Scoop pocket, designed for Pro Play, Flex-o-matic hinge, and made of prime steer hide. It's old and I'd like to know if anyone knows what year it may be from. Thanks!!!

    No.... Does it have a deep pocket? Or if it is just a flat, inflexible glove made of steer hide just hang it on your den wall--at least it could be used as a conversation piece.

    Does it have a black and green "Franklin" cloth label on it? If it does, it's from the late 60's.

    Funny, I grew up in the 70's and one of my favorite birthday presents was "The Backhander". I think I was abou 12, so 1972 ?
