I just bought a Rawlings Pro-H with a date code of OBE01.
How do you determine the date by this code?
Can someone please break this down for me?

The date code "KEC01" is it April of 1985 or April of 1995??? Mitt is all horween leather to include the inside. When did Rawlings stop making Horween leather gloves?

I believe the date codes ran from 1987-88 to 99. Not sure about this but that is the idea I have. So, yours would be 1995.

all horween would put it at 1985. is the PRO-H stamping at the heel or on the pinky?

i have gloves with the blackhorse codes starting at 1983 or 1984

a good investment for you sarg would be Joes glove guide which he sells. he is softball 66 on here but it is kinda fun to go through his quide and try to date your gloves I my sure you could find your 22fb mitt in there
