Thrift Store Scores

If that's the lunchbox, I can only dream of the lunch

Cold weather camping gear completed. I scored these A-10 trousers which were used by WWII pilots before pressurized cabins were a thing. Alpaca lining from the waist to the knee and wool below that. These appear to be unworn and were made in 1944!! I’m just so stunned by their quality.

@GraemeE haha!! From one thrift hound to another, your comment means the world to me! I often joke with my buddies that at my funeral mourners will be given a leaflet at the door. It will be a catalog of all of my thrifts, a table summarizing what I paid versus MSRP. The total at the end will be the summation of my life.

No images, But Mark my antique dealer mate (Mad Mark is what me and P call him), went into a thrift store just north of here a couple of weeks ago. Came out with a small Chippendale era cupboard which he gave £108 for.
Sold it over the phone before he got home for £2,500.....

@twin The one from the lunch box story?! That's rad - is there a sign giving any info about it?

@Inorganic Look up big nickel. There were lots of mines here.
