This A1-C glove was worn by astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom during early training sessions for the Apollo missions.

The A1-C spacesuit was a modification of the Gemini G3-C and G4-C spacesuits and was only to be used during training and Earth orbitting missions. It consisted of five major assemblies: the main suit, helmet, boots, gloves and neck seal. The astronaut was equipped with a life vest assembly, and wore a cotton constant wear garment underneath the suit. The suit weighed approximately 25 lbs., was relatively comfortable, and permitted freedom of movement while pressurized.

NASA transferred this glove to the Museum in 1972.
