Some models are made in Washington, MO, but most of their gloves are made in China. Most models that are made in the USA use imported material. Don't buy into all the hype, Rawling makes a nice glove but it's far from the best.
Making a baseball glove is the hardest thing in the world to make out of leather. The average glove takes approx 3hrs to produce. See video from Akadema on how gloves are made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcGiBodC-Mo
Below I will leave a link to a guide to help date your vintage baseball gloves. Gloves can be dated by the style of the web. Styles may have continued to be made after the dates stated but in general the web can be dated to that era. Player endorsements can also be used to help date some gloves. I also have various Baseball Gloves made by Rawlings listed on the my website Keymancollectibles. I also have various Baseball Gloves made by Rawlings listed on the site including baseball Glove advertisements for different Rawlings models. Advertisements are a good way of dating your gloves. If you can't find what you are looking for browse through some old magazines that would have sports related content. If you need help you may contact me with more details of your glove.
