....on jackets and other gear over the decades but coming across a large folder of receipts from the likes of Manion's and an infant Ebay back in the day brought it home somewhat. It also brought home how much stuff I sold on over the years too.
Wish I still had records of prices on all the WW2 gear I picked up for what would now be considered peanuts in the 60s & 70s too. In a way it all seemed so much easier back then - despite the lack of technology 40 or 50 years ago. I used to love rummaging through piles of "stuff" and scouring the local papers and Exchange and Mart every Thursday.
