B-3 on eBay.

[tda003]

This is currently on eBay, size 38. It appears genuine and in very good shape, but far from my size. Seems odd the the starting bid is about 10% of the asking for what is clearly a repro - has pockets. (Thank you VLJ members for educating me!) Don't know if it actually is genuine, but that's a low starting point even for a repro. Possibly someone hear can help?

Look period correct to me! nice small sized jacket.

 

[tda003]

Too bad it's not my size. Maybe if I stopped eating for a few months...

@tda003, here are some good pictures of original B-3s that illustrate the pocket nicely. Originals had just one pocket, made of a piece of leather stitched to the sheepskin surface of the jacket. I believe it was originally meant to hold maps, but I find it very useful for car keys.

Faxi,

Maybe not. I get "The page you requested cannot be found".

I have actually been hacked internally by a tech support firm I'd used and hit for $3k before finding out and spending over two weeks straightening it out. Actually not finally until the credit card company finishes its investigation. NOT Amish cyber terrorists!

Amish cyber terrorists?

As an aside I wanted a traditional postbox from across the pond so while staying with a WW2 veteran friend I bought one from a hardware store while in Intercourse - the Amish town that is. My how we laughed.

I know “Intercourse” very well . It’s right near “Bird In Hand” .
it’s the truth …. You can’t make this stuff up!

Yes, though I hear Intercourse has more people than Bird in Hand.

Ah yes now you chaps mention it I am reminded that I partook of the "Bird In Hand" experience but cannot for the life of me remember if it was before or after "Intercourse". Of course this was a good few years ago, we were younger then so it may well have been on the same day.

Nowadays, what with the Covid restrictions and being that much older, we tend not to go so far so Little Snoring does us nicely, I soon found out the wife loves Fakenham and with Little Snoring being so very close it is ideal.We often play around in the Stiffkey then inevitably experience a bit of Great Snoring too. Stick to simple pleasures I always say.

The Oldies are the best but of course it's the way I tell 'em. My agent will be taking bookings for next season. I thank you!

The Mrs. (who spent a year in PennState and knows the area quite well) just tells me that the road from Intercourse leads to Bird in Hand, but if you turn left... then you get straight to Paradise....
