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.
It's been quite a few years. The only company I see spending resources on USA manufacturing is Akadema.

They are pretty good gloves. Most glove brands go through the same suppliers for material. At the end of the day, if I was going to spend over $200 I would stick with Wilson or Rawlings. If I was going to stay below $200 then maybe go with a Rawlings Gold Glove Elite from Dicks Sporting Goods. Also, follow some hardcore glove enthusiasts on Instagram and see what they are chatting about. Hope this helps!
Infield gloves, a baseball equipment essential, are sold in most online sports stores (ie: Sport Chek or Dick's Sporting Goods), but you can also find a great selection at Infield Gloves. Infield Gloves is an online store specializing in baseball gloves, that allows you to purchase Mizuno, Wilson, or Rawlings gloves through Baseball Rampage (another specialized online baseball store).
On the Rawlings website, you can buy a "Rawlings ROLB Official League Baseball." Thus ROLB = Rawlings Official League Baseball
Rawlings Established in 1887George and Alfred Rawlings opened a retail sporting goods store, and the Rawlings company was established in 1887. George A. Rawlings, invented improvements in the baseball glove in an application, patented on September 8, 1885 Rawlings proposed the use of padding in the fingers, thumb, and the palm of the gloves for the "prevention of the bruising of the hands when catching the ball." The felt/rubber combination in the padding provided for increased flexibility and thus improved protection from bruising.
Mickey used a few different gloves early in his career. He basically used a Rawlings baseball gloves. He started with the HH model (Harvey Haddix) before Rawlings signed him to a contract. Rawlings HH and HSP models were issued to many outfielders at the time. The first MM (Mickey Mantle) model was designed after the HH model. Over the years the gloves were slightly altered to Mantles liking. Models include MMP, and XPG6 gloves. Later in his career when he moved to first base he used a Spalding model glove.
From whta i know the dots on the older Rawlings baseball gloves on the out side of the thumb indicate the quality of the leather used, with one dot being the best. I have a Rawlings Premium H 2600 that I bought back in the 80's and i was told when i bought the glove that i wanted the 1 dot because that was made witht he bhighest grade leather. Again this is just something i was told by the owner of the sports store that i purchased the glove in. Hope this helps.
