I don't think they are hunter's gloves. I'm a hunter and I wouldn't consider using these. The material appears to be either some kind of vinyl or maybe waterproofed canvas. They are very stiff, awkward, and uncomfortable gloves. I thought they might be military gloves of some sort because of the color and because they were with the other military stuff at the estate sale. Since we have both an Air Force base and an Army base here in Anchorage there is quite a bit of old military surplus gear around. Back in the mid 1970's the Army surplussed to the public a bunch of old snowshoes from back in the 1940's. Some were singles, missing the other snowshoe. Most of the snowshoes were painted so the soldier could tell quickly which 2 snowshoes were his. The bindings and rawhide webbing was damaged on most of the snowshoes but they were still usable. So I just assumed these gloves were old military surplus.
