Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2023
My season officially began today. I think a little later than usual as I wasn't motivated to go out. Very first yard sale I stopped at had a 1943 shirt an and Ike Jacket for $10 for the pair. The shirt is in excellent condition, the Ike Jacket has a few repairs.
I took some interior shots of the shirt to show the "Gas" lining.

After the yard sales, we went to a flea market I haven't been able to go to for months due to bad weather on Fridays almost constantly. Found a few weirder items there that I opted to bypass but this came home. I believe it to be an original Japanese rifle sling. It is missing the metal button but I have a lot of them around. Leather is cracked and worn but it isn't brittle. I did not have an original sling so this is something new for me. $20 which I thought was a steal.
