This vintage glove, is in excellent condition for its age!   The gloves feel outstanding on my hand!   It's amazing to me to think that this glove, from the 1940's, just may have been used by some of our brave
soldiers
in the US Army, way back in WWII...
This is a wonderful opportunity to buy your very own vintage, split finger glove for your man cave or for that Field of Dreams type game of catch with your loved ones! The glove is in terrific useable condition & is ready for a game of catch or display!
As I mentioned, the glove feel amazing on my hand.  The leather feels soft, smooth, pliable & supple.  It opens & closes very easily.  The glove has wear, dirt & oil build up, cracking & wrinkling, but I see no rips, no holes, no tears, no ink writing & or significant damage upon close inspection. The gloves
feel like a very well conditioned glove.  I can tell you from personal experience that a high percentage of the gloves I've purchased from private sellers have been hard, stiff & dry.   In fact, I'm often pleasantly surprised when I receive a glove that doesn't require a lot of time & effort to recondition from being neglected & dried out, or worse, they have been so full of holes that they are beyond my ability to repair.  This glove does not feel like those other gloves to me.
