u/Limp-Rub-1477

Picked this up awhile ago at a private buy for an estate. One of my favorite things I have found over the last year. Unfortunately, it's one size too small for me... I've finally decided to let it go, but thought I'd share here first.

This is a pretty rare piece that doesn't come up everyday. The fact that so many things point to to 50s but the print it's more 60s makes me think this was a transitional piece where Carol Brent was experimenting with emerging trends.

Picked up this 50s National shirt today for cheap. Appears to be 100% Rayon based on texture and burn test. High quality flat felled seams and it great condition. Really happy with this addition to my collection/wardrobe. It's essentially in deadstock condition.

I also found an early 1960s orlon-wool blend loop.

I thought this group might appreciate these hand painted curling pieces. These are associated with a regional curling club in upstate NY (I don't know if it still exist). There was another curling related sweatshirt as well.

I have nothing to do with curling. I just collect and appreciate unique vintage clothing. Hope this is interesting to you!

These pants likely date to the 1950s maybe a smidgen earlier. The mill closed in the 60s. These have some great distressing and tons of original owner repairs. Very cool piece. There used to be so many regional woolen mills in the Northeast.

I forgot to post my last garage/estate haul, so here's the most recent.

- Griswold LBL #9 griddle, Griswold slant logo #3 Yankee kettle

-10in BSR camp oven with loop handle

-Wagner deep fat fryer, chicken fryer, #5 skillet, and long life #3

-Vollrath #3

-#14 and #12 bottomgate bailed griddles. The #14 is huge almost 2in bigger than another #14 I have.

The griwold slant Yankee kettle is painted so that will be annoying to restore. I am most excited about the deep fryer and camp oven since I don't have either in my collection.

If anyone has an extra lonely legit griwold #7 paddle I am in the market!

I picked up this #7 New American griswold waffle iron awhile ago. I finally got around the restoring it and after I got all the crud off I noticed one of the paddles was very roughly cast. The "griswold" side shows a lot of tell tale signs of being a recast. Including rough casting throughout, being a hair smaller and missing mold number. The other two pieces (base and patent paddle) appear consistent with bring cast by Griswold, having all the proper markings and quality.

I was annoyed at first, but think it's a odd and neat example. My guess is someone broke a paddle and sought out a cheaper after-market replacement. Helps I only paid $50 too.

The raised "S" on the base seems to be relatively uncommon as I can only find one other example.

If anyone has a different take on this one I am very curious. And if anyone knows where I can find a legit paddle replacement let me know!

Picked this up recently. It's a little big for me and my wife is not a fan of this style jacket. I'll need to rehome it, but it's a cool jacket.

It's in really good condition despite a little leather glue where the sleeve stitching came loose at the seam. Should be an easy fix.

Got these two BSR Red Mountain series skillets in a small lot recently. I don't have much BSR in my collection so I was excited to get these for cheap. They were in good condition so a quick trip through the lye bath and a vinegar soak did the trick.

Since these have hand drawn numbers/mold marks and big pour lips it puts them in the early range of the Red Mountain Series, sometime in the 1930s. I have even read these could go into the 20s, since that's when many of the patents were filed by ASW, but there is debate on that.

Nice skillets I am happy to add to the collection.

Bought this custom school 100% wool blanket. The original owners name is chain stitched on it and from my research was an impressive person. This is from the very late 50s or very early 60s.

Not sure if this has a place in my home but I couldn't pass it up since it was so cool. I heard to original owner couldn't imagine anyone would want it. I always wonder how much stuff like this gets throw away...

I picked up the super faded vest yesterday it fits me better and I like the style so I swapping it out for my other (less faded) one. I found the changes in details interesting. Different zipper pulls, different patch location. Also the cut just feels a bit different. Pretty sure the brown one is from the early 90s and the faded one is Nov 1986.

Picked up this W.H. Gunlocke rocking chair today. I believe this is an early example from the first half of the 20th century. Maybe even early in the company's history. Has intact paper tag, showing as model No. 34 and has a 34 carved under the arm rest. Anyone have more information on the age of this chair?

I grew up near Wayland and live about 1:30 away now.

This is my favorite vintage shirt I own. Faded and repaired 80s Hanes pocket tee. Some of the repairs are from the original owner, some from me. Thin and faded; It's super comfy and fits great. While I have sold most of the "grails" I've found, I love collecting these simple no frills kind of tees. I look forward to wearing and repairing this one for years.

What are the unexpected favorites from your collection?

Picked up this sheer button up mens short today. Never seen anything quite like this before. The style seems like it could be 60s, but 70s also seems reasonable. This will be great for summer and definitely a unique piece. Need an undershirt though unless you're looking to show off your nipples.

Standard Manufacturing Company, 3qt bean pot. Cast in Pittsburgh PA., in roughly 1875-1900. Someone abused this poor pot by painting it and using it as a planter. Luckily, they didn't drill drainage holes. I'll get her clean back up and looking as new as I can. Excited to add this to the collection.

One plus is that the paint probably protected the pot some. Rust seems minor, and pitting minimal. Should be beautiful when it's done, but she's a bit further down the restoration lost right now.

Picked this up very cheap at a garage sale. It has a great rustic vibe. I want to do a light restore on it (like strip the probably lead based paint). It seems pretty old, and my guess is early 20th century. Would love some opinions on it. I just have photos of the pieces since I wanted to limit spreading the chipping paint around

Planning to use a chemical stripper to remove the paint and some light sanding of the table leg feet to remove some of the water damaged wood.

Snagged this stuff from a local thrift. As someone interested in vintage clothing and a hunter it great to find stuff that speaks to your personal hobbies. The two sweatshirts have a great cropped boxy fit and are going into the personal collection. The white tail AOP henley is my favorite. The graphic tee is not my style but I couldn't leave it behind.

I have a Trebark camo shirt that matches the pants, so I can wear these both during early bow season. FYI, this camo pattern was the first developed specifically for hunting.

Picked this up as part of a small lot. I think it's a hammered lodge from the 1930s. What do you all think?

Sorry I've been bad about taking before pictures of my restorations lately. This thing is super heavy for it's size though.

Been on the look out for a waffle iron lately. I was almost ready to pay up for one. I was even out bid on a #9 at an auction (went for $260!). Pick this up today for $50. Looking forward to getting it cleaned up and back in service.

I thought white tabs were from the 70s and 80s, on things like corduroy. I have a pair of 80s levi cords. First time I have ever seen them in shorts. These are 1997 assembled in Guatemala. I normally only grab MiUSA levis, but these were my size and $1.

Any info on the status of 90s white tab denim would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a small corningware and pyrex collection that started with stuff from both my wife's and my grandmother's. This is a piece from my grandma. Is it one of the original pre-corningware pieces? I love opaque pyroceram lid.
