You are bidding on a pair of WWII era electrically heated GE flight
gloves for an F-2 Electrically Heated
Flight Suit. Tags inside these gloves, which appear unused
and remain stapled together read as follows:
The black tag with gold colored letters on the left glove reads “INSERT AND ELECTRICALLY HEATED GLOVE FOR TYPE F-2
ELECTRICALLY HEATED FLYING SUIT SPECIFICATION NO. 3182 SIZE 8 CONTRACT NO.
W-33-038-AC-623 (11219) GENERAL (ge logo) ELECTRIC MADE IN USA PROPERTY AIR
FORCES U.S. ARMY” A white tag attached
to the black tag bears the number 29567 and Pat. No. 2,269,990 and a
handwritten number. Have fun bidding and please ask any questions
you may have. The black tag with gold letters on the right glove reads: “GLOVE GE CAT.

white tag attached to the black tag bears the number 370230 and Pat. No. 2,118,017
and Pat. No. 2,227,154 and a handwritten number. Each glove has an old adhesive tag in the lining that reads “MATE
NO. 8” with one glove’s tag having the
number 752 and the other 923. While each tag bears a little different data, the gloves are
identical in all other respects and each glove has an off-white colored
material lining. Brown colored leather remains soft and pliable. You may see some subtle scuffs/scratches from
years of moving and storage. Nice
