Hello everyone! I have not posted on the lounge for quite some time as I have simply had no time. I have been going to school and working non-stop. I now have more time on my hands and I couldn't wait to show these to you.
All of these items I am posting today date between 1932-1933.
Here's the story:
A few months ago I was walking around a local flee market. As I got near the end, after hours of finding absolutely nothing, I spotted material from about thirty feet away. "That look 30's," I said to my girlfriend. I almost ran to the table, which held a dark blue 1930's jacket and matching vest. To my dissapointment, I could already see that it was way too small for me (and I am already a short guy). Out of curiosity, I asked the seller what the price was. He replied, "Oh. I've got a lot more of that stuff in the trash bag at your feet. There are a bunch of jackets and some of those white slacks from the 1930's. Give me $30 for the whole bag." I quickly replied, "Sight unseen, you have a deal." I quickly pulled the $30 from my wallet and carried away the enormous trash bag. I coudn't wait to see what I had just bought, so I stopped about fifty feet away and shuffled through the bag. Here is the list of what I pulled out that day:
- 1 three piece suit dated 1932
- 1 two piece imported linen suit of the same age
- 3 suit jackets with matching vests of the same age
- 2 pairs of white linen slacks
- 3 pairs of white cotton slacks
- about 25 white handkerchiefs
- 3 pairs of boxer shorts
- 4 tanktops
- 2 pairs of pajamas
Unfortunately, the suit and jackets are way too small. But, the two pairs of white linen slacks do fit me. I haven't taken pics of everything yet, but I will post them when I do.
Except for the white linens, everyone of the items are in almost mint condition. there are no holes, rips, fading or stains.
Ultimately, I plan to hold on to these In the hopes that a future son of mine will have the same appreciation for this stuff as we all do.
So, here goes one...
