Don't know much about these. They were from my Father's stash of stuff. I expect they were from his days of playing in the local leagues, so I'd guess they are 1960s era, maybe older.
One hand has the fingers webbed together and no thumb (there is a name written on the inside), the other hand (left, I think) has the fingers free and a thumb.
