    Well, I didn't read anything but the first page. That is what I get for not finishing the reading before putting my 2 cents worth.

    How big is this thing? To stretch 1 pair of gloves you would need 10. Why not just use clothespins?

    You do one finger at a time from the inside. My stretcher is about 10".

    I googled it and it is a victorian glove stretcher- type it in and hit "images" and it comes up.
