One of the great things about Jim's https://baseballglovecollector.com/ site is finding a little gem like this from the catalog section.
The House of Brunswick was a trade catalog for Brunswick, Balke and Collender. They were a multi faceted manufacturing company founded in 1845.
The 1917 Brunswick catalog page below from Jim's site have illustrations of Victor brand gloves and one glove with the House of Brunswick logo.


The 1917 magazine ad below shows the general sporting goods trade catalog along with the glove above being advertised for $1.05
