Feraud said:Scored a pair of black dress pants from a local thrift shop. The pants are very old, possibly 20s-30s? No belt loops, button fly and suspender buttons that are metal rivets and not buttons. The rivets are stamped Brokaw Bros.
Belted back
Button fly (metal rivets) with a clasp at the top also marked Brokaw Bros.
The inside waistband has two clips inscribed, "The Hand E Catch".
Baron Kurtz said:Beautiful, M. The tin/aluminium buttons are saying early 20s or earlier to me. Truly fantastic trousers. Must visit your local thrift when i visit NYC! (before the pound drops . . .)
The "catches" are perhaps to secure the sirt tails or underwear?

p.s. Do you do a lot of Tech drawing?

That is a fabulous frame and your mum is lovely.Quigley Brown said:I found this great glass reverse-paint art deco frame at the Goodwill today for $2. It measures a good 10 x 12. I have a pretty good collection of frames like this, but this one was particularly nice. That's a photo of my mom when she was 18 (1957, I think).

Michaelson said:Found a 1947 Elgin 17j Deluxe 10k gold filled wrist watch with correct and unused flex band with a 1947 dedication on the back of the case in an antique store in Washingon, KY a couple weeks ago. I purchased same for $3. It was essentially in little used condition.
All it required was a clean, and I'm wearing it as we 'speak'..
It's identical to the one in this 1949 ad, and it's the watch on the left hand side of the page for $67.50. Mine has a different band, though.
