I picked this up as Buy It Now on eBay earlier this week - what a deal it turned out to be. This catalog is so cool! I scanned the entire contents for your enjoyment.

My Grandfather worked for Goldsmiths starting in 1915 and always spoke very highly of Hugo Goldsmith and the lessons he learned from him on running a bussiness and how to treat others. I have some patents from the 1920s that my grandfather successfully applied for while working for them, long before He started the Ohio-Kentucky Mfg Co.

Wonderful catalog and fascinating comments from Mr. Sonnett. Thanks for sharing them both!

As an Ohio-guy, I have a particular interest in the Ohio-based glove makers- Goldsmith, MacGregor, Hutch and O.K.- and it's always great to pick up new information on their histories.

It was interesting to see the descriptions of the various glove models, leathers and tanning processes. Hard to imagine that one of the major selling points for gloves in those days was to tout their lack of padding in the pocket!
