Hi there everyone!
I am on vacation in Missouri and was driving past an mini antique mall/shop and said to my wife "lets stop here". Well I had a feeling to stop and after searching most of the store on the last few rows of items found a Mizuno Glove.

It's almost 12 inches long on the inside palm there "North American Steerhide", "MM 1300", "Super Flex Palm", "Custom Formed Pocket" and "Mizuno" . On the inside pinky "Profesional Model" . Has a nice Mizuno logo patch on the wrist in Black and Red.

I will post pics this weekend when I get back from vacation.

Forgot to mention on the outside thumb it reads "Max Flex" and under that is "Made in Korea" .

Also a correction on the the wrist patch it has a Black background w/ a red square like symbol and the M is in yellow. Also there is a round thumb patch in black w/ the yellow M.

On the bottom of the glove there are SIX brown metal eyelets for stiching the leather . Please let me know what you think......any thoughts....

Here's the pictures of the glove I found at an antigue store in Branson, MO.
Any Idea on the dating of the glove and whether it is an actual pro glove or retail? Also , would a retail glove say professional model on it? I find it interesting that there is no player endorsement on the glove. That's why I bought it. Plus I figured I could use another glove to play with, if its not a gamer.

looks like a retail glove and from the late 80's. here's someone selling the same model on craigslist:
