I'm with you on the model 15 having a long life at that price point. Nothing to argue there. The glove you posted above shows as a square on my screen. If it's anything taller than 7 inches it's not fitting in that box. That's not to say the box isn't for an early (or earlier) 20c model, just that that glove wouldn't fit inside that box. From Spalding's perspective, the order of progression would be to make a box that fits the glove, not to make a glove that fits the box.
Assuming a 'Men's size" glove is 8.5-9" in height, I'm going with a glove that measures closer to 7" in width as the model that fits inside that ebay box. I'm guessing the model you posted above is 8.5-9" tall, and the width dimension seems to be similar. I'd bet the glove model in your pic would be sold in a similarly sized (to the glove) box, probably 9x9".
