A circa 1905 Reach model 5A catchers mitt. This was one of Reach's best models at the time. It features a white buckskin front and back with a brown calfskin banding. The grommet web is intact. The rolled leather piping, lacing and all the metal grommets are intact. The riveted buckle and strap are intact and function well. the rivets reinforcing the wrist opening are intact. The factory markings on the front read "5A" at the top with "Reach Professional" below. There are no holes or tears to the leather. The inner lining is flawless. The pre-1906 cloth patch is close to perfect. This is a large mitt at 11"H X 10"W and feels great on the hand. It would be tough to find a nicer mitt of this vintage.
