Not sure if this one was already posted here. 21" P2P; longer torso than some - 27" top of collar to bottom of hem in back. Starting bid $145; one day to go. Link

This looks like a Fidelity, but an early (good) one!

I am not familiar with the Fidelity CZs. But that liner is pretty OLD TIMEY. The jackets I have with that type of liner are on the older side. It would be interesting to see how far back Fidelity was in business. The lack of branding label and the seam/zip issues should keep the price on this pretty low.

This Seller is just very clever and meticulous...... You see, he is selling the jacket for what amounts to about 50 Cents PER MOLD SPORE.;) Being a UK listing, I don't know what the Mold Spore Exchange Rate is........... But yeah this Seller has inexplicably overvalued the MOLD PATINA on this jacket.

One of the few Albert Richard labeled MC jacket I have seen. I thought I had seen one that was identical to some of the Sears Hercules jackets, but now I'm not sure. This Albert was made after selling the name to Dryback in NY state.

I asked the seller for some info yesterday, but no response yet. That collar looks like it needs help though.

Note: There is one on Etsy in much better shape. More expensive too. A bit too small for me. Seller willing to deal.

Heads up, no feedback and no history. Caveat Emptor.
Indeed, when I listed it yesterday- the price was at $125 with two bids. Today it is at $250 with 0 bids... combined with a 0 feedback on ebay, I would exercise caution on this one, but you could also score big time...due diligence is advised.

Looks like someone bought it for 500 bucks. We'll just have to keep an eye on whether we see it again
