Antique "cigar" gloves

[El Presidente]

I haven't seen these before. I assume Ken used these when he was cricket wicket keeper for the 5ths at school. Has he told you the stories?...I have heard them all. He did play for the seconds once when ebola struck the school...

 

 

An antique pair of brown leather and canvas padded open-palm cricket batting gloves, c1900; often referred to as "cigar" gloves.

I bought some sort of very special Fuente years ago (called The Man or something). The box actually came with a white cotton glove for selecting your cigar. The guy let me keep the glove. I held on to that thing for a long time but never used it.
