Wicket keeping gauntlets 1920’s. An example of a pair of leather wicket-keeping gloves used in the period, makers unknown. These gloves were top of the range glove in the 1920’s. They are leather faced and ventilated from the front. The fingers and the back of the wrists are all very heavily padded, the thumb has double protection. Ultimately this type of glove proved too heavy and cumbersome and the trend began to reverse back to what we know today Some wear, slight damage, some staining otherwise in good condition
