Not that I am convinced this story is true...but I would have to think after ruth got famous he likely "gave back" to st mary's in some way. So maybe st marys wasnt so dire after this...who know?

To me...its possible the glove may have been given "back" to him at a later date...I'm just playing devils advocate here.

I have not looked into said provenance at all yet.

Either way it seems to me that whether authentic or not this item really belongs in the museum where it's been for a long time.
