I also purchased this 1st basemans mitt today. I have a WWII era 1st basemans mitt...and I was surprised how little padding this one has comparatively...in addition to being a lefty. It's a Higgins...any idea what era it's from. Any help is appreciated. thanks guys.

Mid century give or take a few years.
The padding is easily removed by unlacing it. It was fairly common for the player to alter it to fit their needs.

You have a common claw style 1st basemens mitt from the 40s thru 60s. Go here for more info http://www.glovecollector.com/The_Glove_Collector/Vintage_Originals.html
