This is a vintage Rawlings MM5 Mickey Mantle model that has been fully cleaned, conditioned, and revived while preserving its original character. This glove is part of a multi-model Mickey Mantle series currently being offered in our shop, representing a range of Mantle-endorsed gloves from the era. The glove presents beautifully with strong stamp visibility, a well-formed pocket, even toning throughout, and an honest vintage look that collectors appreciate. Lacing is tight, the leather is supple, and the glove shows exceptionally well from the front—classic Mantle flare in a desirable MM5 pattern.
