Question On Rawlings 1930s-40s gamers

Postby softball66 » May 20th, 2009, 5:17 pm

I have often wondered if Rawlings marked it's pro stock game used gloves in any manner in the 1930s or so or if it was even an issue then. We know that the Latinas added an "X" after their pro stock gloves i.e. LFX, BDX etc. in the late 1940s and 1950s.
I'm looking at a purported major league used KK model and only thing i can see is what looks like a period or mark above and to the right of the last K'. don't know if this was customary for a "pro mark" or not Can folks check their MCs, KKs, LFs, BHs to see if this was done?
Thanks

I just took a close look at my 1940's KK and LF store models and don't see any other markings in the area you described. Don't know whether that's any help or not. :?

That is a big help and may lead to a surmise that Rawlings may have marked its gamers that way. I've asked a couple of coillectors too that have gloves of this type specialized in their collections. We'll see what they have to say. I went over the KK pretty thoroughly without any other signs of
tip offs to pro stock.
But thanks for your kind input or anyone else's.
