The newest edition of Joe's "Catalog Source Book" does include some more modern offerings for Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno and Nokona.
The run isn't complete, but their are a few Nokona catalogs from the 80's and 90's. The AMG300 pattern (in conventional leather) looks to first appear in 1980, and that also seems to be the first year Nokona began using the "AMG" designation in their glove model numbers.
The first kangaroo AMG300(K) is in the 1988 listings and it is also in the 1996 listings. So it's been made for at least 20 years and possibly right up to today.
The retail price was right up there with their other top-line gloves, within just a few dollars of being their most expensive glove. The 1996 model retailed for $173.50, while their most expensive glove was listed at $187.
So, it was obviously a well-made quality glove- as are most all of the Nokona gloves!
