Vintage Cooper Weeks Baseball Glove

[fredderf]

Anyone know much about this glove?

Picked it up a couple weeks ago, its in great shape, made in Canada, could be a kids glove or maybe a small adult. Very nice leather, soft and thick...its a nice surprise.

Any input?

Have seen a lot of Cooper Weeks gloves both in Toronto and Vancouver, including 2 very similar to yours last week. Co. was based in Toronto and founded in 1949- renamed Cooper of Canada in 1971. This appears to be a 1950's or '60's era kids model (does it say 'little league'on the palm?) and despite its great shape, has little value. chris

Yes it does say little league on it. Just seems like really nice leather...especially for a kids glove.

thanks

As far as a date, I just always kind of assume any fielder's glove with a "six finger/Trap-Eze" style web is post-1960 since that is the year that Rawlings introduced this design.
