I think you are close, Walt.  From my recollections from a farm when I was a boy, about 60 years ago, it was used for shelling corn, stripping the kernels from the cob.  Husking gloves, as I recall, had a hook on them.  This was before combines when corn pickers just threw the ears into the wagon and the husking and shelling had to be done by hand.

Do you know?:  I don't know, but it goes with the Jason-like mask in Andrew's photograph.  Scary , when you put the two together

IT is a glove for a cowboy whose lost one finger already and wants to hold on to the reins tightly.
