Sully Posted January 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2015 I found some really good items on my last trip. First thing I found was this pair of USN deck bibs. Contract places them in June of 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted January 13, 2015 Next thing was a pair of M1943 Field Pants in a big size for WW2, 34x33. Dated April of 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted January 13, 2015 On the same rack as the field pants was this almost mint condition M1951 Parka. Dated in May of 1951. Funny thing was it had a Betty Boop key chain hanging off the zipper pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted January 13, 2015 As the family and I were leaving I saw this on a rack being brought out. A real nice military wool blanket and it still had it's tag. Contract dated 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted January 13, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 13, 2015 Great "Goodwill" saves! It is surprising what shows up in thrift stores. Thanks for posting them. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted January 13, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 13, 2015 Good finds Sully, better than anyone could hope for out of a month's worth of Goodwill visits; let alone one! RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted January 13, 2015 I never miss a chance to stop at any Goodwill, Salvation Army or thrift shop. If I have an errand that takes me within 10 minutes I stop. I've found many nice things. This was definitely one of my best stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

268th C.A. Posted January 19, 2015 Share #12 Posted January 19, 2015 I have not found anything at a goodwill store in 25 years, I think they have pickers in the back! Holding it for the highest bidder. Just my thoughts.....I quit going. Better luck at flea markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroAlpha Posted January 20, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 20, 2015 Those items may well have all come from the same donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
