The letter dating code (BB...) is the BLACKHORSE system
The Berkman glove is dated by the number of black dots located under the stitching "GOLD GLOVE SERIES"
You can check out the legend for each of these coding systems at the Glove Works Forum (another website). It is really helpful.
BTW - is that Berkman glove for sale? is it a game-used?

I have a rawlings gold glove series from 1987, how do I find the date code and how would the code read ?
much appreciated
BCBC should be 14/14... That makes no sense to me.
The code I've always heard was:
B = 1
L = 2
A = 3
C = 4
K = 5
H = 6
O = 7
R = 8
S = 9
E = 0
Unless this was changed at some point to B = 0, in which case BCBC would be 03/03 March 2003.
I read somewhere too that the B=1 was incorrectly B=0 for the Gold Glove series. Does that make any more sense for the glove you have?

I would love to know from AM if they have discussed where they think all those unused Rawlings gloves that pop up that seem to come direct from Rawlings to a secondary source which has been discussed on GUU before.
I have a rawlings glove that has a code of 0EA09 and in the glove it says PRO CMH-C, its also a gold glove series. Can any member explain the code?
Manufactured in March 1987 at Tennessee Tannery.

Here is some great reference material on Rawlings gloves from HRKing:
Since I know many of us use this old post as a reference point, including myself, I figured I would update it with much of our gained knowledge of Rawlings gear. Since the new USA models done by Bob through Eastbay kind of go by his code, I will leave them out. So here goes:
Rawlings glove codes: (Excluding stock model pro preferreds such as a PROS15TCB or a PROS17ICB etc.)
This is from my first hand knowledge: Pretty much every Rawlings model can be made 1/4" larger or smaller than its book size.
Anything with a 217-____ is usually an 11" glove
Anything with an 88-____ is usually an 11.25" glove (Very narrow with the double heel lace)
Anything with a 200-____ is usually an 11.5" glove
Anything with a 201-____ is usually an 11.75" glove
Anything with a 12-____ is usually a 12" glove (Basically replaced the old PRO1000)
Anything with a 1000-____ is usually a 12.25" glove (Used to be well known 12" model)
