<p>[QUOTE="PACKRAT, post: 193713, member: 3191"]Hello everyone. I would appreciate some help with this unique item as to date and possible value. I am told they are opera gloves and are made of unborn goat skin. The stretcher looks ivory but maybe bone. The case is leather but in kind of rough condition. The gloves are in perfect condition, just a bit dry but still flexible. Never minding the size stamped on them they must have stretched a lot as they are about 2 inches wide. The case has an accordion type bottom for expansion to carry more stuff I guess.</p><p>Looking forward to hearing from you. This is very different from anything I know about. </p><p>Thanks</p><p>Bill[ATTACH=full]54844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54845[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54846[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54849[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
