I'm sure this has already been asked but I can't find anything from back researching. Can anyone tell me what the dots on the back of the Rawlings pinky finger signify? I've seen them ranging from 1 dot to 5 dots.

Okay, I’m a little confused…I’m a rookie glove collector so let me know if I’m wrong…
Rawlings stopped making gloves here in the USA around 1995…right?
4 dots = 1999…right? So anything after 1995 was and is currently made overseas…right?
I have a Rawlings glove with 4 dots that has a USA stamp on it…what the heck happened there?(*&!#&
I can’t refer to the pre-1982 dot code list (http://www.vintagebaseballgloveforum.co ... t=dot+code)
because it would make my glove a 1979 (4 = 1975+4=1979) which I know it’s not. So does anyone out there have the dot codes for gloves made after 1995? And how about the ones made after 1995 that are stamped with “Made in the USA”?
Thanks

Rawlings made HOH in USA through 99 then after that only for eastbay but had date codes on them

Sir, my glove has a US Flag on it, is it an Eastbay Glove?
Also, Rawlings made them for Eastbay or did Eastbay make them?

Thank You Sir

yes at that time it was made just for eastbay with the flag, after that the flag is confusing even to me. our Brain trust even added the flag to some imports I believe the Hertiage line to be exact ( which I developed to go head to head with Nacona) and was up to 50'000 units when the old switch aroo happened. (send to philipines no one will know) Then the first thing that happened was it turned into a stiff multi-colored HOH quality glove, The next sound you heard was Taps.

Nice...Thanks for the info Sir.
My glove has a USA Stamp on it so it’s a REAL USA Glove...Cool!!!

Bob, so the Heritage, with the dot date code, are liekly USA made?

by **docglov** » August 5th, 2008, 10:29 am

I would say so but will check when I have time. I know they will be a lot softer

by **awarsoca** » August 5th, 2008, 11:01 am

Hmmm I just bought a used custom all black PRO 1175 C with the modified trap that has someone elses name embroidered and has the rawlings patch on the conventional back but the edge is trimmed out with the USA flag coloring. it has 2 dots on the side? what year would this glove most likely be?

Guessing 2002 or 2007...?
