Jackpot of vintage woolen samples

[scotrace]

This will go higher than my pocketbook will bear, but you may find it interesting. I am not the seller.
A full box of vintage woolen samples. Detmer, Ferris, etc.

They are swatches, right? Man, expensive and useless to an everyday guy (or gal), but cool to have.

Actually this could be VERY useful...

For someone (me for example) who is a couple of sizes larger than the 1930s to 1940s guy, this could prove to be very useful in matching samples from a custom tailor (the guys in Thailand for example) before I had a suit made. Agree that the starting price is a little high, but I (for one) can see a use for these.
