1970 - 1979 Gloves & Mitts

Although a 12" size rule was made in the 1950s outfielder Gloves in the 1970's begin to be made as long as 13 - 14". Full and Hinged webs with different lacing devices dominate the decade and into the 1980s, making it difficult to distinguish the age of the glove by the web alone.
