How many glove makers had a military model during WWII?

Off the top of my head I've seen Rawlings, Wilson, OK MFG Co, Dubow, Hutch, Denkert, Montgomery Ward, Spalding

I also have a Goldsmith and have seen Nokona models.

I don't know if Ken-Wel was producing gloves for the military, but they were making other equipment. I have a catcher's mask stamped "US 1945".

I have a couple of old softbball gloves that are military. One is an OK stamped US Nov. 45 and the other is an unknow maker but is stamped USA.

There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for marking the military gloves. Some seem to have dates on them (all the ones I have seen are late war), some are marked "US", some "USA", some say "Special Services". I had not thought about marked catcher's gear, but it makes sense that it was made. Thanks to all for the replies.

I just got a Yale "US" marked glove. I was kinda surprised that they made military gloves.
