AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original antique leather boxing gloves – circa 1920–1940 | 8 oz | horsehair padding | rarity
These authentic, handcrafted boxing gloves originate from the early high period of classic boxing and can be stylistically classified within the 1920s to 1940s.
Made from heavy, dark brown genuine leather, they impress with their powerful, compact shape and a beautiful, original patina that can only develop through decades of genuine use. The traditional lacing and hand-stitched seams showcase true craftsmanship.
Especially noteworthy is the original padding made of horsehair, as was common in high-quality boxing gloves of this era. This historical filling ensures a firm, characteristic shape and makes the gloves particularly desirable for collectors.
Inside, the original stamp '8 oz' is clearly visible – a reference to lightweight gloves, as they were often used in the past for competitions or quick sparring.
Signs of use and aging, wear, as well as minor material fatigue, are present and explicitly part of the authenticity. No replica, no reproduction – but genuine box history.
