Hello all, I have a bit of a puzzle here. A beautiful wool uniform jacket from the Portland Railway Light and Power company, made by Nudelman Bros.
Im trying to verify the age of the piece but cannot find any reference to early Nudelman labels, just a 50’s one and a 60s one. Mine is actually very close to the 60s one that’s on the web but with a few differences.
The Railway...company changed its name in the mid to late 20’s but I’m trying to verify that someone didn’t just sew railway buttons on a 60s jacket. Not sure why anyone would but out of curiosity more than anything.
the jacket is amazing, it has 4 patch pockets tipped in leather and a dark grey wool fabric with an all around badass browns beach sorta vibe. The collar is definitely curious, I can’t say I’ve seen that style collar on anything from the 60s so that may be a decisive clue. I will work on photos next. Thanks
