bellasilva Posted December 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2015 Just picked this up at an antique store because it looked interesting. I'm pretty sure it's WWII era, and it does have lift-the-dot fasteners. What's weird to my untrained eye is that in the inside there is a flap with a pocket, I've never seen that before. Also the interior is not insulated. I was thinking British made but I have no idea. The writing in the flaps appears to be a "laundry mark", and something that looks like a darkened triangle. Any help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
