Got da Penny Posted November 5, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2010 Ok, i went out last night and spent 3 hours digging thru the "PILE" of uniforms and i have 2 pair of pants in GREAT shape and this is the pile I had to do my surgery on. Also cut off a few pairs of Collar Hooks ..... Both Sides. Some pictures for your viewing pleasure. PS, I had visions ALL NIGHT, of cutting patches off of the uniforms ... Dead Serious. and yes, it kept me awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got da Penny Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted November 5, 2010 I did see a 2nd Inf Div uni and a few more 3rd army uniforms. plus some other scarce patches. The best one i have so far is an 82nd AA full uniform with "moth damage" and one with Air Force / wing collar discs. will post pics when i get it cleaned up.

gwb123 Posted November 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted November 5, 2010 Sad to see. I was wondering if you were salvaging the buttons as well. I am sure somebody needs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbranch Posted November 5, 2010 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2010 I wish you wouldn't post this... what a shame.... To all collectors: If you have so much in your collection that you can't take care of it, do everyone a favor and move it on to someone else!

Did you ever hear of "Hoarders" ?? This guy has alot of Items, and i have actually taken home Fighting knives with "Mildew" on the leather grips and scabbards ---- cleaned them up ---- and sold them on eBay for him. ((This was something i couldn't stand to look at, either.)) :crying: Did I see these patches and buttons on Ebay? If so I may be interested in some that didn't sell. Yes you did, There has been an overwhelming response to items selling. Not much that didn't sell. Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
