1950s/1960s gold lamé nylon gloves with rhinestone buttons to wrist. Unworn. Large. USA.
Glam, gleaming gold ‘shorty’ gloves in perfect, unworn condition, with original card inserts. Come just over the wrist bone and each features a large, sparkling, prong-set rhinestone button fastener at the cuff.
Card inserts read: “luxury nylon gloves by grandoe/YOUR NEW GRANDOE 100% NYLON GLOVES ARE THE MOST WASHABLE AND FASTEST DRYING OF ALL FABRICS. THEY MAY BE MACHINE LAUNDERED, AND BECAUSE THEY’RE SHRINK PROOF, CLING TO THEIR SIZE, AND STAY FRESH AND NEW LOOKING ON AND ON. DRY AWAY FROM HEAT./GLOVERSVILLE, NEW YORK.” Paper label at wrists reads, “7 1/2/grandoe/100% NYLON”. Left glove is also printed to the interior with, “7 1/2/grandoe/100% NYLON”.
Measure: 8 1/4” long; 3” wide at cuff (flat, buttoned, unstretched). Marked a size “7 1/2”, I would class these as a comfortable Medium to Large, suitable for the broader modern hand.
