dumb, blind luck. and good friends. Sitting in San Jose but reading a Craigslist ad from Carson City, Nevada with gloves to sell. Wanted to purchase but they will not ship, even when $$$ raised. Comes to the rescue my friend Todd, who volunteers to drive from Sacramento 2 hours, get the gloves, then reverse course. (A friend indeed. Many thanks Todd).
Gloves acquired include the webless, workman's glove (yes, I know some think that if it has a crescent, then not true workman's. Bah, humbug). This will clean up, add some color to the finger tips. Inner palm gone but, hey, it's 125 years old.
Other glove is a Kel Wel 533 (almost certainly a Dazzy Vance model but marking are light)
Mitt is an old Reach, with a great back and a so-so worn-out white front with no markings.
I am in disbelief as to my luck.
