Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2025

[Aragorn243]

First new item of the year arrived today. eBay purchase. I picked up the USMC Australian blanket last year but kept searching for a US made one. First one I've seen with a tag and without holes that went for less than $100.

1943 dated, looks better in person. Photos don't do it justice, blanket looks unused. I can see why the tags are missing on so many of these, they only sew the one edge. My daughter's gift to me. She always gets me eBay gift cards for Christmas, and I put them to good use.

I've been fairly housebound since Christmas. Nasty head cold that is just hanging on and has gotten into my teeth. They hurt like heck. Staying home on the weekends checking eBay.
