Glove stretcher is a 19th century device for "easing" (stretching) the gloves.[1] The rounded tips of the stretchers, typically made of two wooden pieces hinged in the middle and spring-loaded,[2] were placed inside the fingers of a glove. The handles were then squeezed so the fingers were stretched,[3] allowing the glove to be put on without damaging it.[4] The scissors-like implements were also made from metal and celluloid.[5]
