Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>Howdy everyone,<br /><br />I inherited my grandpa's old glove from the 1930s, and it could use some restoration treatment to give it back some shine and gloss. Does anyone have any experience doing so? I have not research online yet, and figured I ask everyone here first.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Kyle<br />
