Well, it certainly has no trace of that tell-tale crescent padding we're so used to seeing on old time softball gloves. Looks more like a sort of prototype or custom built kind of glove. As wide as it is, that's a tiny spec of a web piece, too. Suggests hardball to me. Fun to imagine this one in action.
I do recall back in the late 50's family trips up to Canada in the summer. We used to get totally caught up watching night after night of really serious softball games in a little bandbox ballpark in Cobourg, Ontario. These guys were good.
