Leon, sorry but I gotta disagree with you man. Mink oil is the kiss of death. Many of the crispy gloves and mitts we see today were mink oiled many years ago only nobody knew it at the time. The good thing is that it takes many years to dry a glove out and turn crispy. It would also really darken the glove and take forever to dry out. A general rule is not to put anything on a glove you wouldn't use on your own skin. That's why many glove collectors use Vaseline, Lanolin or other milder conditioners. Lower quality leather like that usually responds well to something like Lexol. Hope this helps.
