  What's Behind The Glove  VINTAGE GLOVES She looked around, feeling isolated and detached from all the other women in the room. She wasn’t trained on how to properly wear gloves. Looking at her hands then looking around at everyone else, she looked down and her mind began to race. She thought to herself   “Do these gloves make my hands look fat?

I felt as if I was transported back in time when I looked up to see all the "Coca-Cola" memorabilia. It was nostalgic. My eyes glanced up to gaze at the antique tin coffee cans, the vintage containers varied from pop-corn to cigar cases, all made of metal tin. My thoughts began to escape me as I got caught up in the intricate detailing on these canisters. I was eager to find out why people valued these items.
