NOTES:
 
     Founded in 1880, the Ripon Knitting Works company of Ripon, Wisconsin manufactured an extensive line of casual footwear, slippers socks, hosiery, leather gloves and mittens. In 1942 the company won a contract to manufacture work gloves for the army and Navy. During the war the company started producing baseball gloves for the US Army. From 1942-1944 Ripon Knitting Works was cited by the war department for outstanding performance in war material production. (Army-Navy production award) After the war in 1946 Ripon issued their first catalog to the Sporting Goods Trade.

 The No. 40 Softball glove featured a pre-formed greased set picket. Fully padded thumb, wrist, and little finger. Adjustable thumb strap, and was available in right and left hand models. The 1948 model features raised padding across the heel, and little finger. Ripon also made a No. 41 "Custom Built pad" softball glove.
