Aren't the silver labels rare or only for Pro's at one point??
Aim for the corners and let the middle take care of itself.

Incredible!

This is the model I used for twenty baseball seasons. My Pro- TF B is worn out and in desperate need of love. It deserves it. It made some incredible catches. It hung on to balls that would have fallen out of other gloves. I'll soon send mine out for professional care.

Nice find!!!!!!!!!!!

What does the lining say on the RHT one? How is it different from the usual Deer Tanned Cowhide

It says SofTan'd with a bull.

I believe it's a slightly softer version of the pure old school horween lining. not as soft as deer tanned.

the reason i say this is because i had the priviledge of breaking in a similar pro T with the SofTan'd lining and it took forever (in 1984). i think it was Rawlings' 1st attempt at making the glove a little (2%?) easier than full Horween lined gloves.

28years later i'm still using this glove and it's in excellent shape
