Mickey might have used a few different gloves during the 1956 season. There is a discussion going on among "Glove experts" about a "Game used" glove on eBay that is a Rawlings Mickey Mantle model MM. It is believed that it is unlikely he used this model during the 1954-1956 seasons, rather he might have wore Rawlings HH and HSP models as issued to many outfielders at the time.
At the Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown a glove used by Mickey Mantle during Don Larsen's perfect World Series game in 1956 is on display. This is a Rawlings Model HH.
I will leave a link picturing the glove along with a link to the Vintage baseball glove forum that is discussing the 1956 era game used Mantle glove. This forum is also a good source to find info on baseball gloves in general.
