Boxing Gloves Appraisal

Signed Cleto Reyes Professional Boxing Gloves

This item consists of a pair of professional boxing gloves, a left and a right, primarily red in color. The gloves are made of what appears to be high-quality leather, exhibiting a slight sheen and some natural creasing indicative of either careful use or the material's inherent flexibility. The construction appears robust, with visible stitching along seams, suggesting durability and craftsmanship. Each glove features key branding elements: the wrist cuff displays a black and white rectangular label with "CLETO REYES" prominently featured in a bold, stylized font, followed by "PROFESIONAL" and "HECHO EN MEXICO" in smaller text. Below the wrist cuff, on the back of the hand portion of each glove, there is a distinct oval-shaped emblem in white with black lettering that reads "HECHO en MEXICO" and includes a registered trademark symbol, further emphasizing their Mexican origin and authentic Cleto Reyes manufacture. Both gloves bear signatures in what appears to be black permanent marker. While a full authentication process would be required for definitive confirmation, the visible condition of the signatures and gloves suggests they are suitable for display or collection. There are no obvious signs of severe damage such as tears, rips, or large scuffs; the leather maintains its vibrant red hue. The overall impression is one of well-maintained or lightly used professional sports equipment, possibly dating from the late 20th to early 21st century given the consistent branding of Cleto Reyes.
