Just to clarify, one-inch web gloves such as this example were prevalent in the 1920's but could be found emerging in the mid to late teens. Prior to 1910 and into the early part of the teens, gloves had more of a full-web, two inches or more. The piping on this glove is not professional grade rolled leather, it's more of a lesser ribbon sewn around the perimeter. Furthermore, the addition of metal grommets at the heel came later. Most high quality gloves that the pros would use during the mid-teens lacked the metal grommets. They were found more often on mass produced gloves beginning in the 20's.
