I need some help with this, I have an original mego Andorian, it was missing the left glove so I put a repro emce diamond select glove on it until I could find an original. After years of looking, I finally found an ebay auction selling an original left glove. The seller took my best offer for $45, I got the glove but it’s very hard for me to tell whether it’s original or repro?
Here are some pics, first pic the glove on the left is a darker faded brown, this is the original that came with the figure.
The glove on the outstretched arm is the one I got from ebay, the glove next to it on the paper towel is the reproduction one I had been using. The last picture is a picture of the glove I got from ebay auction.
I questioned the ebay seller who runs a toy store out of Memphis and he spoke with his partner who he said is a Mego expert and said that the glove was an original because of the little wear pin hole marks on the glove and was a more reddish brown and not a darker brown like the reproduction.
The seller has 100% positive feedback and judging from the second picture the glove the figure is wearing does look more reddish brown and not the darker brown glove next to it on the right.
In the first pick the original brown faded glove on the left is different from the supposed reddish brown glove on the right the figure is wearing, but I’m told that’s also an original glove. I know the glove sitting on the paper towel is a repro, it’s just a bit difficult for me to determine.
So my question is, the gloves the figure is wearing, are they both original or just the darker brown glove on the left?
I tend to believe the glove on the right outstretched hand is also a original, it’s just a different color.
I’m guessing the original Andorians from back in the day, had different shades of brown gloves and maybe the one pictured, the gloves came from two different figures, but are both original.
I wanted to ask if anyone here can verify the authenticity of the gloves or at least the glove the figure is wearing on the right. Thanks I always appreciate any help.
