They would/could be used for anything that involves some use of the "trigger" finger.
Quite common up here in the North.

They're perfect for riding. I foxhunted in the winter and have a pair of gloves like this. It gave me the flexibility with the reins and kept my fingers warmer too.

These are leaded gloves used in x-ray by the Radiologist when he fluoroscopes upper and lower G.I's. They are also used by x-ray Techs or anyone that is holding someone having an x-ray taken. They are used for protection from the radiation. Long time x-ray tech here. If you are going to list them put them under x-ray there might be someone out there looking for them. I have no idea what price you would put on them. New, they are expensive. The reason for the finger is that when the Radiologist is fluoroscoping he can press on certain areas of the stomach.

Libra ..... If you saw lead in those gloves, you must have X-ray vision?

I was given a set of ladies gloves/mitts with this design a couple of winters ago and I see them more often now. They work great if you are in a hurry to get change out of your purse or to put a key in a lock as the thumb and one finger can grab easier.

No I worked in x-ray 45 years and I can recognize them. Wore them often. Fluffy are they heavy? with eather a smooth backing?

Has anyone ever seen medical gloves made out of leather?
How about posting the rest of the pictures?

Thanks for all the great help, they are made of leather and they are not heavy, my husband called them gunner gloves. They have a fuzzy lining inside, they look like they are weathered, I know they are old, but they are still in excellent condition as far as being worn out. Just really don't know how much to start them out at, if they are worth anything, I do not just want to give them away, know what I mean?! Thanks Again.

Shooter's gloves have to be reasonably light, so you can "feel" the trigger. My husband has several pair...the leather ones (deerskin) were expensive when new. Are they still nice and supple and soft?

On the inside they are still soft, but they are like flattened down, a medium brown color.

Trappers also wear mitts/gloves like this.
I doubt these were used for shooting, too bulky looking.

I've never sold any, but I'd think they'd have to retain their softness and "feel" to be useful.
I didn't know they were used for horseback riding as well, but even in that case you'd need to "feel" the reins...

Hi reddeer!
Trapping, too? I had no idea those gloves were so versatile. DH has some handknit ones, that are only good for accumulating ice balls between the fingers...

Try that page and take a look at them. The older gloves didn't have 5 fingers the newer ones do. Leather ones cost new $185.00

I really don't think these have anything to do with any form of radiation use, they are very lightweight, and leather is not stiff.

They aren't stiff. They bend. They are felixable. Well when you list them and you are writing the description put possible x-ray leaded gloves so that if anyone searches they can see them and can confirm it. x-ray products sell pretty good on ebay. Cassettes, film, view boxes and even x-ray machines. Either search x-ray or x ray and take a look.

Hey Toke!
Yes, and they also come in pretty handy for changing flat tires in -40 temps. Don't ask me how I know that.

Some type of glove where your index and thumb are necessary.
Definitely not riding gloves: too thick, no free pinky, big aproned wrists.
But I vote motorcycling, snowmobiling, something where you can get at shifters and brakes. And the wide wrists for thicker clothing like jackets.
simialar to a pair of Pearl Izumi gloves I have with split fingers for bicycling.
It's not glove leather is it? doesn't look like it. Looks like bridle leather.

They are "trigger finger mittens". Some may think that they are too bulky, however, some guns are designed so the trigger guard can swing away or be removed, like the M16 rifle. These are better in sub-zero weather than the mittens with the hole you stick your finger through, fingers will freeze instantly to cold metal....
