This set of vintage (stamped 1954) heavy rubber lab gloves are simply outrageous and fascinating. They are simultaneously bizarre and so much expected to be covering the hands of your run of the mill mad scientist their presence in the universe seems almost perfunctory. They have a look impossible to recreate... so don't. You have an opportunity to get the real thing and also own a bit of science history. It should be noted there is an approximately 2" crack of dry rot beginning on the inside wrist of the right glove. It isn't yet visible to the eye but can be felt. I'm researching what might be the best way to reinforce (from the inside) and stave off a visible defect. I would imagine that an eventual flaw is inevitable but even a small gasp of crackle can't take away from the sheer cra-mazing presence of these gloves. They have more personality than most people I meet. Everything I sell is in as-is condition. I do my best to describe the items and I always add a bunch of high quality pictures. Please reference pics to make your own assessment of cosmetic condition as I'm not a professional appraiser... just a guy with an eye for things I find appealing and for which I really want to find a good home. It might sound flaky but it's actually true. That being said if you get something from me and decide you don't like it you can just send it on back within 14 days and I'll refund your money. Unfortunately this precludes free shipping because some (read as awful) people take advantage everywhere they can. This means I'm out the cost of the return shipping each time some clown thought an item was eggshell white and it turned out to be sun bleached bone white and that just won't do. So I've scrapped free shipping to offer no questions asked returns... Also please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. I'll do my best to answer them. If you need different angles in the pics... let me know. If I didn't measure something you feel you need to better evaluate the item please contact me. Not only will I get you the info I will appreciate the information on what I'm missing as I try to get better at listing some the items I find. Thanks for checking out some things I found interesting.
