	Vintage Baseball Glove Dating Guide

1960 - 1969 Gloves & Mitts

The web developed from '50's style one piece anchored, triple tunnel webs, large triple lock webs, to solid one piece webs, tightly laced to the Thumb, forefinger and a wider "U" shaped crotch. Spiral laced bridges are used more often, as well as inter-laced and basket weaved webs. Trapper webs continue to be used but begin to be built with a more solid bridge, after Rawlings introduced the Trap-Eze models.
