Just happened to get an e-mail flier from Lehman's just before I read your 
message Larry.
They don't seem to have any double thumb gloves but they have the hooks. 
When I was
coming along we didn't know anything about husking gloves or hooks.  We just 
learned to
do a snatch and wrist twist all in one motion that broke the ear off. It WAS 
hard on your hands!

Try contacting Lehmans hardware in Kidron, Herb.  If they don't have them, 
they should know where to get them.
We had a couple husking hooks and a corn peg on the farm when I was growing 
up, and we had some of those husking gloves that you're looking for, but I 
haven't seen any of those items on the market since around 1950.
