We, JAMES NUTTALL, of Silver Street, in the City of London, and Louis
STEAN, of Goswell Street, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN FUR GLOVES," to be as
follows (that is to say):-
Our Invention, which has for its object the pointing and ornamenting of
fur gloves, with a view to their presenting a more finished and elegant
appearance than hitherto, consists in inserting or attaching to the backs of the
said gloves, by sewing, gumming, or otherwise, plain or ornamental points of
the same or other suitable materials, such as leather, velvet, silk, cloth, braid,
cording, or otherwise; the backs of the said gloves may be also ornamented
by painting, staining, or extracting the colour, so as to present the same or
similar appearance. In like manner, the gauntlets or wrists of fur gloves may
be ornamented with any appropriate device or design.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, JAMES
NUTTALL, of Silver Street, in the City of London, and LOUIS STEAN, of
Goswell Street, in the County of Middlesex, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven, in the twenty-first year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto us, the
said James Nuttall and Louis Stean, Her special licence that we, the said
James Nuttall and Louis Stean, our executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others as we, the said James Nuttall and Louis Stean, our executors,
administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein ex-
pressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend; within
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands,
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN FUR GLOVES," upon
the condition (amongst others) that we, the said James Nuttall and Louis
Stean, our executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
our, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great
Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said James Nuttall and Louis Stean, do
hereby declare the nature of our said Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement (that is to say):-
Our Invention, which has for its object the pointing and ornamenting of
fur gloves, with a view to their presenting a more finished and elegant ap-
pearance than hitherto, consists in inserting or attaching to the backs of the
said gloves, by sewing, gumming, or otherwise, plain or ornamental points of
the same or other suitable materials, such as leather, velvet, silk, cloth, braid,
cording, or otherwise; the backs of the said gloves may be also ornamented
by painting, staining, or extracting the color, so as to present the same or
similar appearance.
In like manner the gauntlets or wrists of fur gloves may
be ornamented with any appropriate device or design.
But in order that our said Invention may be more fully understood, and

page_text: readily carried into effect, we now proceed to describe in detail the manner in
which we perform the same (that is to say):-In the pointing or ornament-
ing of fur gloves, we cause the backs thereof, when in an unfinished state, to
be cut or opened in any suitable manner, and strips or points of the same or
similar material, but of different tint, shade, or color_inserted, and sewn
either inside or outside of the article, or otherwise attached thereto; the
points may also be attached or secured upon the backs of the said gloves, and
present a similar appearance to the method above described; or, in lieu thereof,
the backs of the said gloves may be submitted to a chemical preparation for
changing the color, whereby any ornamental pointing or device may be pro-
duced with the same effect; and in like manner the gauntlets or wrists of fur
gloves figured or embellished by a change of color or material. Of the
various materials employed in the manufacture of the said gloves and gauntlets
we prefer the skins of sable, martin, minx, chinchilla, ermine, fitch, squirrel,
otter, beaver, muskquash, raccoon, fox, cat, wolf, opposum, monkey, linx, fur
seals, blue backs, white coats, hair seals, creamers, and English and foreign
lambs; but all other descriptions of skins known and used as furs may be
employed with similar advantages.
Having now fully described the nature of this our said Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed and carried into effect, we would
have it clearly understood that we do not intend to confine ourselves to the
precise details herein-before described, as the points or otherwise may be
formed by glueing, gumming, or any other suitable means; or the same may
be otherwise varied without departing from the general principle of these our
said improvements; but that which we do claim as new and of our said
Invention is, the pointing or ornamenting of fur gloves and gauntlets, in the
manner and for the purposes herein-before set forth and described.
In witness whereof, we, the said James Nuttall and Louis Stean, have
hereunto set our hands and seals, this Third day of March, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.
Witness,
LOUIS STEAN.
