Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Hi,

I bought this a few years ago from a Rawlings dealer on E-Bay. The date code is BEEA. There is no stamping that would indicate that it was made in the Phillipines, nor is there a Made In USA stamp. I suspect it was made in the Phillipines, but can't be sure. Could it have been made elsewhere? Also the palm lining is "deer tanned cowhide" Am I correct in assuming that it is not the same as the HOH lining used on the older HOH gloves?

Thanks,
Mike

It's made in the phillipines 100%. BEEA is 10/03 so made in Oct 2003. HOH's have used deer tanned cowhide as the palm liner for a LONG time. I have a 94 PRO12TCB that has the Deer Tanned Cowhide stamp for the lining. Nothing special about that, just a staple of Rawlings.

I was under the impression that, at one time, HOH gloves used the same kind of leather for the lining that was used for the shell.

The Earlier USA HOH were all Horween ( maybe up until late 80's).
