I have a black metal one made in Chicago by Lemke Mfg with a patent date of 1910. It has Lennon's The Glove House printed on the handle. So along with the picture of the lovely wooden one in the museum I think it is confirmed that you mystery is solved.
Has anyone made gloves? I have several patterns but I have never made a pair.
