    Busted Block Bilt-A Restoration perspective

    As I write, this jacket is live on ebay for an opening bid $800. I recently purchased a similar era Block Bilt crosszip jacket. It is superb, but also like new. I have a passion for these late Talon Sunrise jackets from the Bay area. The Block Bilt jackets do not show up often so I certainly...

    Mid Western Sport Togs Deerskin

    Made in Berlin Wisconsin just north of me. These folks made many Deerskin items, I've seen a few that have 30s zippers. I'm not sure of the age of this one. Late 50s/early 60s. Looks to be unworn. Hunters could have a jacket made or pick one from the rack. I have a catalog from them somewhere!
