Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

I forgot to post this earlier, but about 10 years ago I bought a nice DVD showing the manufacturing facilities at the old Ava, MO Rawlings HOH plant. It even showed the ball plant in Turrialba, Costa Rica and the Adirondack bat plant.

The DVD is called "The Show & Tell Series". Basically a kids DVD that includes a series on News & Comics and Milk & Cookies, BUT I bought it purely for the Rawlings footage. Good video if you want to see the manufacturing process.

Interesting ... I'll have to look that one up. I think Rawlings still has a plant in Washington MO' anybody know what they make there? less than 2 hours from where I live.

I would like to get a copy if possible and would be willing to pay for it.

If technology is a barrier, I know how to copy a DVD and would be willing to do that.

Washington, MO is where they make the new USA Eastbay custom gloves and USA Pro Shop gloves. This is also their distribution center.

Thanks for the info...what is the difference between USA pro shop gloves and HOH's you might buy at any store? How can you tell the difference?

There is a thread below on Rawlings Pro Shop Gloves...

the usa hoh are out of horween usa leather and the store models aren't always. HOH stands for the location that you cut the different parts from the hide to have the best glove possible. I guess if you wanted you could have HOH from a rabbit skin. The USA are also the only camel colored HOH we make in that color. This is new and I hope will provide a glove that will be like the old style long lasting HOH.

you can purchase the DVD for a whopping $1.19 through Amazon at the link below - that way you don't have to break copyright laws and get an illegal copy from a forum member

So all HOH's are not always created equal?How can you tell what type leather is in a model from the Phillipines? Are they of lesser quality or just different?

most all HOH's are still hoween. I was only pointing out what makes a glove HOH sorry for the misunderstanding

Hey Doc no misunderstanding at all. Its been 20 years since I've bought a glove for myself and I'm just learning as much as I can. Thanks for all the help.
