Ford Work Gloves
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's famous blue oval logo has appeared on countless items of clothing over the years -- shirts, shorts, hats, socks, and just about everything else imaginable. These gloves are different. They aren't meant to showcase an enthusiast's loyalty to the brand. They are heavy-duty work gloves that subtly promoted Ford tractors and farm equipment.
