NOTES:
 
   In 1923, Philip Kennedy of the Kennedy brothers, owners of the Ken-Wel Sporting Goods Co., filed for a patent, that would connect the fingers with lace. The main objective of the interlaced fingers was to create a deep pocket that would close around the ball when it hit the palm, and prevent the fingers from bending back from the speed of the ball, or spreading apart allowing the ball to get away. This new design was advertised to help prevent errors.

 The first Ken-Wel model was endorsed by "Crack 3rd baseman of the Cincinnati Reds" Babe Pinelli. The glove featured leather tabs on the back of the fingers in which the lace ran though. The Dazzy Vance model followed the following year and became a mainstay in the Ken-Wel catalog into the 1940's. Sometime around 1934 eyelets in the fingers replaced the outer leather tabs. There were a number of feature variations through the years, that included a 3 finger model, and by 1940 a double tunnel web was added.

 Other companies also experimented with variations of the interlaced finger design, Goldsmith, Reach, Nocona... but all other glove models in the market were manufactured with split fingers, including the Ken-Wel catalog. This glove design did last through the 1940's, but it wasn't until the 1950's when laced fingers took hold ending the era of the split finger baseball glove.
