Where in the World...

Postby vintagebrett » June 24th, 2010, 12:37 pm

...are the Horace Partridge glove boxes?? After looking through John's book I can to the realization that I've never seen one. I quickly clicked over to JD's site hoping there would be a picture of one there. Nope. So, what's the deal? Do they not exist? Did HP eschew the rest of the industry by being different and not putting gloves into boxes? Anyone here see one before?

Hmmm. I don't think I have seen any either. Good observation.

Back in my early days with Nocona, I asked then President Jim Storey why no more glove boxes for his gloves. I was told, "our dealers told us they didn't want them, that they just threw them away." Gloves went on pegs and racks. I guess that sort of did away with the nice gift ideas for the gloves. Alas! :cry:

Thanks again to eBay for answering my question - they do exist.

I bookmarked that listing when it was first posted because it was a great box and glove even with the ink. I agree with Murph with the rest.
