Here's a short vintage SI article about his endorsement signing:

I have a Sears Ted Williams endorsed fielders mitt that I deployed after my Rawlings glove was stolen in 1973.
Based on your pictures, I would actually guess late 1960's or early 1970's.
I seem to remember these when shopping at Sears. Use old Sears catalogues to fill in the time gap, just as an FYI
