    Swap Meet Score!

    I rescued this vintage beauty from a swap meet this week for $35. It was so dry and crispy you could prop up a building. I started rejuvenating it yesterday and it's well on it's way to having life again. Can anyone tell me the age and possible maker of this jacket? My guess is late 40s early 50s.
