    Description

    This is a set of vintage women's gloves, I believe from the 1940s.  They are fancy and beautiful and clean; some appear not to have been worn.  They have no sizes or labels, but they fit like size 7 to 7 1/2 to 8.  I'll try to describe them individually but since I know nothing about vintage gloves, please feel free to ask questions and to request clarification.  Yes, you get all five pairs for one bid price and mailed in one package.
    1.  White gloves have soft moleskin feeling.  10 inches long.  Wrist hem has a surge or up-cut where it meets the vertical hem.  These are soft and worm and a little thicker than other gloves.  On the back side are three rows of rays (2.5 inches long) that are raised.
    2.  Off-white or ivory-beige pair are 9 inches long.  There is a faux gusset on palm side of thumb.  The wrist seam is scalloped with delicate piping (?).  Where the vertical seam comes down to meet the wrist seam, there is a one-inch surge covered by a scalloped cut-out flower with eight dots in a circle and one more in the center.  Very nice,
    3.  Black leather gloves are 10.5 inches long.  The wrist seam has a wave-like cut, all edged with tan piping.  There is a half-inch tall crescent-shaped wing going vertically from the wrist seam, and it too is edged with piping.  On the back (knuckle) side of the gloves are three 2.75-inch rays with alternate colors of black and tan.  Unusual gloves, quite showy.
    4.  White gloves are 9.25 inches long and gorgeously decorated with white embroidered flowers and stems.  Fingers have raised edges.  Wrist seams have long, loose scallops edged with tiny, uniform stitch dots.  Elegant and classy--my favorite pair.
    5.  Pink gloves are 11.25 inches long.  Scalloped wrist edging.  One 3-inch wavy raised line comes down on back from middle finger.  Two wavy raised lines (one 4 inches; one 3 inches) are parallel to the wrist seam.  Dressy for a formal occasion?
    I'll mail this set of five pairs to anywhere in the USA via Priority Padded for .75, which will give us tracking and insurance.
