Thrift Store Scores

[Matt]

Here’s my cheap leather jacket. $150 at a consignment shop about 12 years ago. Fits great and it’s very heavy.

[Danimal506]

@Matt Alright alright alright

[GraemeE]

No clue on what this brand is but found this cool looking shirt at goodwill today

[GraemeE]

Wool CPO - maybe Korean war or WWII?
My money is on OG-108 after some brief searching

@Inorganic this is an epic chest. I scored this 1940s roll cab on Craigslist a few years back for $100, it was a complete mess when I got it, the drawers were coated in solidified grease mixed with random hardware and metal shavings.

[Inorganic]

@SourPower solid score. Love the beat downs and patina that box has received over the years

[GraemeE]

Not a score but a near miss.
Wife saw this case but thankfully it was already marked sold
I would 100% had her buy this for $40

To clarify i do not now, or in the future itend to, own an actuall harp to put in this case but I still would have wanted it.

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE so random!

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic it's not my place to question the thrift spirits and what they choose to put forth

[Matt]

You get what you get and you don’t get upset.

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE be good to the thrift gods and they will be good to you.

[Inorganic]

a few gems i've picked up over the past week or so:

• i found a matchy matchy bottom box for my snap-on tool box
• 70s remake of the famed LC4 lounger (I need to weld up a base)

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic on the full moon i leave out a copy of Frampton Comes Alive and one of those hats with a palm tree that says "no bad days" as an offering

[NickD]

@GraemeE No need to harp on about it...

[GraemeE]

Cool little Noda Horo Kettle

[GraemeE]

A couple more fun treasures from goodwill

[GraemeE]

And a few more tees to add to my daughters 6th grade arsenal (we won't be wearing the wasp one when seeing either set of grandparents....)

[NickD]

Getting Red Wing boots from the thrift is wild. The WASP t shirt brings back some memories, I saw them at Monsters of Rock (now Download) in 1992 and they were terrible.

[SKT]

@GraemeE I literally wore that ACL tee yesterday

[GraemeE]

@NickD I'm not typically a boot guy other than subtle Chelsea's or basic docs but they were $30 (which is actually pretty high for me at a thrift store since I usually wince at anything over the $10-15 price point) for near new usa made so i couldn't pass them up
