Baseball gloves can be dated by the style of the web. Styles may have been continued to be made into different eras but, in general the web can be dated to that era. We style include: full webs, tunnel loop, H-Web, and weaved. I'm not familiar with this Wilson Model, and would have to see it to help. If the Glove has a player endorsement it could aid in the dating of the glove. If the glove you have is a split finger glove (no lacing between the fingers) chances are it is a glove made before the 1950's. There are split finger gloves that were made into the 50's but are few.

Sure. A softball glove is made of the same materials that a baseball glove is made of (high grade leather). They need time to be broken in. Oiling the glove will help with this process.
Most sporting goods stores such as Sports Authority and Dick's Sporting Goods sell glove maintenance kits for the major manufacturers such as Wilson and Rawlings. Wilson offers a complete glove repair kit which includes replacement laces and a lacing tool along with other items; Rawlings has a simple lace replacement kit with laces and the lacing tool. It is important to have the right kit for your glove so if your glove is made by a less common manufacturer, you might want to contact them directly or check their website for repair information.
