This lot includes a 30s fair isle sweatervest, one 1930s tie, one 1940s bowtie, two 1940s belts, two 1940s caps, the 1930s Montgomery Ward shirt I posted earlier, one 1940s tattered white shirt, and a 1960s button up sweatervest.

Wow, excellent!

Trust me guys this is highly unusual for Vancouver. I have found zilch within the past several months, for that reason the vintage gods must have looked down on me and took pity.

The cap is stamped " Mackenzie make" and the only markings on the glasses are WJ on the bridge and inside of the arms, lenses are flat in section dark green glass with the edges slightly bevelled.

My acquisitions from the Sunday flea-market:

I didn't buy this. I bought the final bobbin, which fits into the little rack on the bottom left. The box is now 99% complete! (one piece still missing, if I ever find it).

I'm kicking myself for passing up the chance to buy a 1910 edition of Mrs. Beeton's Household Management.

But I did get a 'consolation prize', which was a 1980s reprint of the original. It'll be a handy historical reference for my writings.

As I posted in the hat section, I got this from a guy and it is NOS and I am debating weather to actually wear it. It also came with this note in the box.
