These leather gloves were scooped up from a ten cent box at a church sale. I tried one on and it fit well enough; it wouldn't have mattered if it had been too small - the leather itself could be used to make buttons or cut into strips and used as 'yarn' or turned into patches or slipper soles or...... And for ten cents!
The intrigue is that when I got them home and looked at them more carefully and put both gloves on - I discovered that they are two different sizes; not just sizes but shapes: one is a man's and one a woman's.
How odd. Does this mean that two people each lost a glove and the lost gloves just happened to match and make a pair; was it a couple who dress alike as those who wear the same jackets and hats - and - gloves?
It isn't that someone could simply have gotten two different sized gloves in the original purchase and wore them - the left glove has been worn by someone with a much larger hand.
How odd.....
