Looking for a little help!

I am looking for some information on the glove that is in the 2 photos. This was my first glove that was purchased by my mother at a garage sale in the mid 70's. This glove was the best glove ever and I could do no wrong with it. Unfortunately, I did not listen to my parents, brought it to school where it was stolen right from my locker. I was heartbroken to say the least. It's not easy breaking in a new glove in the middle of a season!!! Since the label was missing, I am having trouble figuring out the maker. I do not think I even knew back then. It looks like it was a modified Trap-eze style glove of some sort. Any ideas????
I would love to find the same one if possible.

this is a Wilson "Ball Hawk Six" glove model A2121 from about the time period you mentioned. The narrow web inserts are somewhat like your glove. Keep an eye out on ebay. Hope this helps.

Not much to go on there for a positive ID. It does look similar to the Wilson, but I don't think that's what your glove was. This is a real shot in the dark...I seem to remember seeing a glove like that while sorting through gloves ads on eBay- not recently, but a few years ago. For some reason the name that's sticking in my mind is "Jelinek", which was a Canadian sporting goods company based in Ontario. It does have the look of an imported glove, rather than an American-made one.
