"Art, do you have a pointer to the polyester knit gloves with latex you describe - are they made by Atlas?"

As a matter of fact I have used some made by Atlas. Others, as far as I can tell identical, are stamped on the card stapled to them as Wells Lamont. I suspect that one or more third parties make them and they are relabeled.

To give you some idea of what I'm talking about:

Those are going to $10.50 + S&H for a dozen. About the going rate. Like I said they are tough but cheap. At that price you can lay in a supply and scatter them about so there are always a few pairs handy.

They are white with blue, or farther down the page, green palms. But the ones I got locally are a grayish blue knit and a blue palm. I have seen them in yellow knit with blue palms. I suspect that there is little functional differences between the different colors.
