Title:

Leather or Cloth Prosthetic Hand Glove

Text:

Dear List Members:
I am looking for a possible source for acquiring either a leather or cloth
glove to cover a prosthetic hand of the type used before PVC or Silicone
gloves were developed.
 
The last known gloves I am aware of were sold by Viennatone, one of the
early manufactures of electric hands in the early 70's. The gloves were made
of a very thin, yet good quality, black leather and had a zipper from the
MCP of the thumb to the end of the glove.
 
Thanks for any help you can offer.
