BELOW MY DESCRIPTION A LOT OF LARGE PHOTOS. GREAT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION. DESCRIPTION GOING TO DO MY BEST. VERY SOFT – INTACT – NO ROTTING OR BUG DAMAGE. VERY VERY RARE DUAL FLAG – U. FLAG & BRITISH UNION JACK FLAGE. HAS HAD REPAIR WORK. Rare pair of late 19th/early 20th-century. Native American Plateau beaded leather gauntlets. Features a highly unusual, historically significant pictorial design of crossed flags. A British Union Jack and a stylized 15-star American flag. Underneath a floral motif. BEST I CAN TELL THE BACK IS THREE PLY. LEATHER / A HEAVY INNER WOOL / AND A LIGHT CLOTH {FORGOT THE PROPER NAME}. Exact same condition as shown in the listing photographs leather soft, interior stitching intact. TONS OF POTOS BE LOW. Blackfoot (Siksikaitsitapi), Plains Cree. Assiniboine (Nakoda), or Gros Ventre. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DUAL FLAG. Nice and soft – no dry rotting or bug damage. I have had these in 100% acid free bags – sealed. Dirty and i have never clean – no leather conditioner ever used. Photo see black old repair. Thumb hole – old repair looks like giving way. Few holes lower around fingers old stitching. Holes kind of small may be 3 / 4. Stitch repair at the edge. Back edge you can see stitching all the way round – outside and inside. Hole on inside lining – you can see a heavy i think thick lining. GLOVES OVER 100 YEARS OLD AND USED – GREAT SET.
