I picked this Weldon set up the other day. Silky cold rayon trousers, shirt, and robe (with belt!) in a foulard pattern, just lovely! It really seems 1940s to me but I'm having some trouble researching it so if someone feels I'm off, please chime in. Weldon made pajamas, of rayon and other...
As a graduate of Michigan State University, it was neat to find these ladies bloomers today. MSU had several name changes but was known as Michigan State College from 1925 to 1955. I believe these are likely from the 50s. They seem a strange item to make/sell for the time, however... perhaps...
Picked these up at an estate sale today. First one is a Ban-Lon knit, late 50s/early 60s:
This Speedo is probably 70s. It took me a moment to figure out what the numbers written inside were... the guy's locker combination!
Thanks!
Hopefully, there will be some interest in the Towncraft tie even though it appears Shriners-related.

An 80s (I think) pretty cool polyester mermaid tie by Carnival de Paris:
And some help with dating please, on this one:
A Towncraft Deluxe Cravat, Resilient Contstruction, Fabric Loomed in USA.
Sabre Stripes (Shriners?):
Thank you!
Emma has not yet attempted to draw from life. I'm sure that will be much more challenging and likely to be covered in her art class where she'll have some knowledgeable guidance.
(Hope it's okay to share my daughter's art, rather than my own.)
Out of boredom, my 16yo daughter began drawing with her no. 2 pencils about six months ago. She's never had any art instruction other than the typical early-elementary school wearing-your-daddy's-shirt type of classes. Recently, I...
This was taped on the inside lid of an old US army footlocker at a local thrift store. No, I didn't buy the footlocker because the outside had been painted bright green (the inside was still original), the price was $25, and it was missing the tray.
I love II, 2.: "One picture in center of...
Today after work I stopped at the thrift and picked up a Korean War-era US Army OD wool blanket, and a dated 1937 black wool tailcoat with silk lapels in fantastic condition. :)
