Saves you turning it inside out to get the opposite hand. Made specially for Yorkshire men.

Sorry P. No, that isn't it.

For use by 6 fingered people, gardening maybe.

Nobody is getting anywhere near. We Need clues.
It's from the US. Used to be common in the Mid West, only used now in competitions.

Baseball, rodeos???

I thought Baseball, but I wouldn’t call them Mitts.

I was just following the competitions clue, don't have much of an idea really, but I think we've seen them before.

We have seen them before and the annoying thing is i can't remember what they are for. I've an idea it was something to do with the thumbs wearing out and so these would have twice the life. Was it tree-felling or log sawing?

China is getting close but not any of those occupations. It was a common farm operation!

Ploughing??

Posted: **24 Apr 2020, 03:14**

I'm going to have to come clean. I'll give you one last enormous clue!

Now tell me why two thumbs!

► Show Spoiler

Your explanation is best! I had a vague recollection of it.

Posted: **24 Apr 2020, 05:58**

If you look at China's show spoiler here is the pic of the silo that went with it.

I think you have all read the spoiler:-
"Nobody has got there but I shall not hang it out any longer. One of the hardest jobs on the hands is 'shucking' corncobs. This was done by hand to remove the outer abrasive leaves before storing in ventilated silos for the winter. These gloves were made for that and the idea of the extra thumb was that when the palm was worn out on one side the glove could be reversed to double its effective life. Only used now for corn shucking competitions at agricultural shows, they were still being sold in the 1980s when my old mate Bob Jacobsen sold me a pair in Northfield MN"

Try this one....

Circus adverts?
Tea towels?

Posted: **25 Apr 2020, 07:43**

Sorry Gloria but no

Posted: **25 Apr 2020, 09:12**

Labels from tea shipping chests?

Posted: **25 Apr 2020, 09:20**

We’ve had these before, from memory they are something to do with Tea, or is that what I suggested first time around, and was wrong.
I will go for designs on tea caddy’s, tea chests. Shipping is coming to mind.

Posted: **26 Apr 2020, 02:51**

Getting close but not tea chests.

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 05:18**

Have you given up? I'll give it a few more hours and then come clean.

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 05:41**

I remember it from last time!

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 07:26**

I've seen them before but cannot remember what they are.

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 07:34**

I think you're stuck. They are adhesive labels that were stuck to cloth pieces destined for export to India. Each animal represented a different type of cloth. Sorry, I don't know which.
Next for shaving?

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 11:25**

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Posted: **27 Apr 2020, 11:31**

Ice house??
