I just found my third medium sized hat box in blue for $5

Then I found this very snazzy leopard print which is larger at the same cost of $5

And it even fits my Akubra Stylemaster

Lancel Automatic lighter, silver-plated, found for 15€ in working condition !
Don't know when it was made, but I would say 1940s-1950s.

I love the pens and the cigarette lighter. That thing is MASSIVE!!

Picked up this cabinet at a flea market over the weekend.

Nice find! I have one similar to yours, makes a great display case. Plus, it cuts down on dusting!

 

[Gin&Tonics]

Not terribly vintage looking, but given how painfully slim the pickings in 100% linen are around here, I had to go with it. The colour initially seemed odd, but I find it growing on me. With the side vents, decent fit and not-terribly-thin lapels, I rather like it I think. At least it will permit me to be somewhat dapper and not roast to death when summer comes!

Came with an original tag still attached and the vents still stitched shut. I suspect this jacket may never have been worn! Not too bad for $17.99 I suppose.

 

[Barman]

It's gorgeous! Nice find.

Very nice find!

Thanx! I paid $100 for it.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Good deal! Sure enough can't build one for that cheap!

Thanx! I paid $100 for it.

I picked it up at the seller's house and got to see his petroliana collection.

You didn't buy that too?

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

He said he might be selling off part of his collection so who knows?

Found another neat piece of luggage, in red this time. Made in Australia by A G Blackwell. And dig that groovy lining!



And this other piece, no lining, sadly

 

[MikeBravo]

But wait, there's more

I found one of my Holy Grail items this week too. A shooting stick

 

[BobHufford]

Picked up this vintage University of Missouri sweatshirt at the DAV thrift -- at least I think that is the school represented (unless it is Memphis State or some high-school). I think it might be from the '60s based on the Creslan (acrylic) reference on the tag. I have not been able to find this graphic anywhere out there, so if someone has better Google foo let me know what you find.

Thanks,

Bob
