Does anyone have any information on Wilsons "Seamless Thumb Pro Model" gloves? I found and interesting old Wilson 1st basemens mitt with this stamp on it, but couldn't find any model number on the glove. Does anyone have the dates for this particular model or any other information?

In the Catalog Source Book, in 1942 Wilson had a basemen's mitt called the 'seamless thumb' [Model 563N] as well as 'professional seamless thumb' [models 607m and 607L]. The latter two were the most expensive mitts for 1942.

I just purchased a model 560 1b mitt from 1948. What style web does your Wilson have?

Thanks for the response. I'm not quite sure how to describe the web. The glove only has two "fingers"- the thumb and then one large finger. The web is very small as it connects the thumb and the finger together at the top. Where would I be able to get a copy of the Catalog Source Book you are talking about?
