Black evening gloves

Found at the estate of the original owner. She had many pairs of gloves. It appeared that they enjoyed going out for entertainment. Most likely dated 1960s.

Found in the original plastic package marked, "Van Raalte" which was a popular brand of gloves back in the day. Marked inside, "Van Raalte, 7 1/2". There are other words printed on the inside of the glove but they have faded from age. I can see the word nylon.

The gloves are in good overall condition with no stains or rips. The gloves have a button design along the wrist and all the buttons are there. The buttons are made of plastic and are a light black color with a sort of opalescent.

The gloves are more of a mid length, being longer than the typical short dress glove. Measurements are: from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger 10 inches. Across the wrist measures 4 inches. Across the middle palm from the thumb measures 3 1/4 inches. The button gloves have a thicker lining than most gloves I see and also a seam inside (see photos).

Very pretty. The gloves have not been cleaned or washed by me in any way.
