NOTES:
 
    In 1949 Wilson changed the catalog system from a 3 digit number to a Prefix letter "A" followed by a four digit number. (A2030) The Wilson A2030 Top Notch Ball Hawk -4- was introduced in 1950, designed and constructed for those who prefer a four finger model over the original 3 finger design. Patented in 1947, the 3 finger Ball Hawk; was designed to provide a baseball glove with a relatively deep and effective ball catching pocket, absorb the impact of the ball against a portion of the wearer's hand, and aid in the gripping of the ball.

 The Wilson Top Notch model, 4 finger Ball Hawk fielders glove features; Streamlined Kurv Form fingers, hinge action heel, one piece Barrel web, hand formed, grease set pocket, laced across ends of fingers (laced fingers was a fairly new concept in 1950, coming off the "Split Finger" models that were made before) asbestos felt, pad, roll leather binding, and adjustable wrist strap.

 The back of middle-ring finger reads: "Two Fingers Here, Patent Numbers, 2231204-2414004, Canada 444892 1947" Patent number 2231204 which is a Streamline Finger patent, was granted to Wilson Sporting Goods in 1941. It was to make the fingers more rigid, and to help prevent the fingers from bending. Patent number 2414004 was granted in 1947, for the 3 finger Ball Hawk. The 1947 Canadian patent 444892 is also for the 3 finger Ball Hawk.
