1960s Era Rawlings GJ109 Shelf Sized Brooks Robinson Infield Glove JRC For Sale

This Rawlings GJ109 Brooks Robinson model is a classic mid-century infield glove built around control, quick transfers, and a compact, responsive pocket. The Finger Pad design reflects Brooks Robinson’s defensive legacy, prioritizing feel and precision over excess bulk. With its clean lines, balanced proportions, and iconic Robinson endorsement, this glove represents one of Rawlings’ most recognizable infield patterns of the era.

Please note that this is a smaller shelf-sized glove rather than a full-size adult model. While fully capable of display, collection, or light use, its proportions are best suited for younger players or collectors who appreciate vintage baseball memorabilia in a more compact format.

Leather remains sound and well-structured, showing honest age and play character without softness collapse or brittleness. The pocket is defined and responsive, finger stalls are firm, and the heel holds its shape well. All factory stamps, including the Brooks Robinson signature, Finger Pad marking, model number, and Rawlings branding, remain visible and legible. Overall condition reflects a glove that has been properly restored with respect for originality rather than overworked for appearance.

This glove required a full teardown and complete relace due to degraded original lacing. All old lace was removed, the glove was carefully cleaned and stabilized, and it was fully relaced to proper pattern and tension using period-appropriate leather. No shortcuts. No cosmetic stuffing. Only what was needed to restore structure, function, and longevity while preserving the glove’s original character. Every glove ships packaged for gifting, boxed and presented with the same pride and detail that goes into the restoration itself—ready to display, ready to give, and ready to enjoy from the moment it arrives.
