Rawlings mystery glove

[mikesglove]

I was wondering if this model glove has surfaced or if their is a catalog illustration of it? It is interesting to note that Rawlings applied for the patent in 1927, the same year Ken-Wel was issued a patent for their lace finger models. Coincidence? Something tells me no, especially since Rawlings was not issued thier patent until four years later in 1931. Seems like there may have been some legal wrangling going on.

note that the Rawlings lacing extends to the pinky finger

I checked the 1931 Rawlings catalog on baseballglovecollector.com and could not find the laced finger model.
