nokona cm 47 catchers mitt

[baseballdad4676]

I have a nokona cm 47 catchers mitt. It appears to be old but not sure if it is considered vintage. One of my elderly neighbors gave this glove to my youngest son who plays catcher on his little league team. The glove appears to be in really good condition other than it needing relacing. I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on this glove specifically what years was this model glove was manufactured. I searched the internet but cant seem to find what year(s) they were made. If anyone has any info on this glove i greatly appreciate it. It is really interesting that this old glove that has been sitting in this man shed just fell into my lap. Thanks

According the The Glove Collector's Source Book, the Nokona CM47 first appears in the 1961 catalog (the book doesn't have the 1960 info so it could have been a year earlier). Looks like it was made well into the 1990's but I'm sure with various changes.
