Vintage Rawlings RPT-LT Fastback Catcher’s Mitt | Dual Wing Lite Toe | 34" | Right Hand Throw

A fantastic vintage Rawlings catcher’s mitt with the unmistakable look and construction of classic Rawlings baseball equipment.

This brown leather mitt features the Dual Wing design, Lite Toe construction, Deep Well Pocket, adjustable wrist strap, traditional Rawlings branding, and the distinctive heavily broken-in character that only comes from years of use.

The model appears to be the Rawlings RPT-LT, a vintage Fastback-style catcher’s mitt. Current and recent marketplace examples identify the RPT-LT as a right-hand-throw catcher’s mitt in brown leather, with examples listed around the $40–$44 range in pre-owned condition.

This is a wonderful piece for a baseball collector, vintage sports enthusiast, former catcher, display collection, or anyone who appreciates old Rawlings leather equipment.

Condition

Good / heavily broken-in Preloved Vintage condition.

This mitt has substantial authentic game-used character and should be purchased for its vintage condition and patina, not mistaken for a lightly used or restored glove.

Visible characteristics include:

• Significant leather creasing from use
• Scratches, scuffs, and surface rubbing
• Darkened and aged leather
• Heavy pocket break-in
• Wear around the edges and finger areas
• Aging and discoloration to the leather lacing
• Some fraying/wear to individual lace ends
• General surface wear consistent with an older used baseball mitt
• Original vintage construction and markings remain visible

The leather remains wonderfully substantial and the mitt retains its recognizable catcher’s-mitt form, but this is definitely a well-used vintage glove.

Please review all photographs carefully. The photographs represent the actual item and show its present condition.

Styling

This is an especially good piece for vintage sports décor and Americana collections.

Display it:

• In a baseball memorabilia collection
• On a sports-themed bookshelf
• In a man cave or game room
• With vintage baseballs, bats, or scorecards
• In a baseball-themed office
• As a photography or film prop

The combination of aged reddish-brown leather, black lacing, vintage Rawlings branding, and the Dual Wing construction gives this mitt a fantastic old-school baseball look.

Shipping

The mitt will be lightly protected and wrapped before being placed into a sturdy shipping package to help protect the leather, lacing, and wrist strap during transit.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and are paid by the buyer.
