Mark, I hear what you are saying about the high quality features, and I am struggling with that too. That dimensions are also borderline. May not be youth, but from what limited I can see, webless gloves of the 1905 - 1910 period were lower end or "for boys use only". They may have had rolled piping too.

If others who have more access to glove catalogs chime in that may help. Spalding in that 1905 - 1910 period made mostly high quality gloves, and even their lower end had welting and rolled pipe. I posted this thread on the Glove Forum, but no response yet.
