Rawlings Fielding Gloves Dot Code Breaker???

[camarokids]

I thought I had a grip on this whole thing, but I purchased a David Segui mitt, with 1 Dot. So, 2001, correct? Well, somehow I have the glove photomatched to 1998.

Wes is confused.

Are you sure it is a photomatch or just a style match? Gloves are pretty hard to match. Look inside the wrist strap by the pinky for a date code....

yep, pretty sure... 98% confidence - everything lines up and nothing on the photos that doesn't match my glove, but lacking the resolution to definitively call it. Additionally, glove has #21 written on it and is signed with a 21 inscription, the last year Segui wore #21 was 1999. This glove actually may have been manufactured in winter 1996 and used 1997-98, which would correspond to a 1-Dot in the 5-Dot system. 1998 was known to be 3, then 1997 could be 2, and 1996 could be 1. I heard that some factories started using the 5-Dot code in 1995, 5 Dots for 1995 being the origin of the system.

Title states it all. I have a Norm Charlton Rawlings fielder's glove with "Stormin'" stitched into it, and was trying to figure out if there was any way to put a date on it. I would appreciate any info you could give me!

Thanks,

This may help.

But I have this suspicion that some of the pro issued gloves to players lack a date code imprint, or sometimes don't follow the standard formula.

there should be either a letter code or dots. Post pics and we can probably figure it out.

If this is the same glove that was won on ebay last year? Then it is a 1999. I even talked to a person who asked the seller a question about the glove. In the bidders question he put his phone number. The seller posted the question along with his phone number to the auction listing so I called him.

There should be a four letter date code on the outside pinky. Please post what it is?

If this is the same and is a 1999? I would be interested in buying the glove.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the info. That is a LOT to take in, haha. Looks like it is a '99. There are 4 gold dots on the pinky, under "Gold Glove Series."

I did win the glove on Ebay several months ago, just can't remember when. Sorry, the glove isn't for sale. I'm meeting Norm this weekend, and was just curious if there was a way to date it 100% without asking him. Trying to figure out an inscription, and if it was from the early 90's Reds glory days.

Thanks,
J

The Bubba Trammel glove and Mike Kelly glove both do NOT have a date code nor a dot code.....

Any suggestions?
