Rawlings Heart of the Hide 11.25 XFG 6 Made in USA Baseball Glove. This is a rare and beautiful vintage Rawlings Heart of the Hide glove that is made in the USA (not the Philippines which is where Rawlings makes all of its high end gloves now). I believe the XFG 6 model is from the late 1970s or early 1980s, but please do your own research to confirm that if you care about such things as I do not have definitive proof. This model, with its tan colorway and basket web, is a clear throwback to the 1970s and 1980s when such gloves were widely used by major league players. As you can see from the photos, the glove is in pristine condition. The glove leather is still stiff and not broken in. The heel, thumb and pinky padding is quite stiff as well. The palm and outer shell of the glove basically show almost no wear, other than from natural aging of the leather. There is a tiny bit of wear on the fingertips which indicates the glove hasnt been totally unused but the wear is minimal.

The inner lining of the glove appears to be made from the same steerhide used for the outer shell. There is some very light staining from moisture to the inner lining, but barely noticeable (see photo). And note that there is lining on both the palm side and the upper of the hand stall.

This model would be a fantastic addition to any glove collection but can also be used in actual play (I think using it for daily play would be a shame but it would be up to the new owner). In each case the owner should be sure to properly condition the glove regularly (and certainly before use) given the age of this glove. The glove measures a tad over 11.25 from the tip of the index finger straight down to the bottom edge of the heel.
