The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Fueco]

Wish we had bath scarves down here in the states

When you’re bathing outside next to a sugar maple tree, you have to stay warm, eh?

I've been enjoying the bath scarves myself
(Some silk ones as well already claimed by the Mrs)

PS - if anyone recognizes the font on that cashmere one and can ID a brand that would be helpful.


Also this

This one

loads of other items but I don't get around to pics often

Audio guys - totally out of my wheel house. Was at work and the warehouse guys were tossing these. They all seemingly turn on but I wouldn't really know what to do (tune ups etc). Any tips would greatly be appreciated.
A quick google shoes they're not worth too much so they might be destined for the donation bin in the end.

Rescued from the Halloween rack. Probably the finest piece of tailoring I've handled.

I would’ve been mad about it and then bought it anyway.

@goatamous II….if you have a Facebook account sell it on marketplace. There’s always guys looking for various brands. And some of the older Realistic gear was pretty good.

oh wow . a few years ago i'd found a lesley & roberts tailcoat ( trousers too !)

it was a bit later (1960 iirc) but yes probably the very best tailoring i've ever handled .

I kind of collect tailcoats so if you ever stumble across something that is approximately 40R, DM me

The Goodwill Boutiques here would've priced that at $300-600+. $150 is a great deal. Sold one of those years ago for $375ish if I recall, and it was an older label. Someone in NY go grab that thing!

That Realistic would be an easy $100 and some change on Craigslist of FB marketplace if it powers up and works (plug in some headphones and test it out with the radio). Volume is likely crackly/staticy, which is super common on these vintage receivers. Easy fix (deoxit on the pots). I never mess around with that stuff as it's usually more work than it's worth. I just test for power and sometimes test out the controls with the radio (vol, bass, treble, etc) to let whoever the buyer is know what it may need in terms of TLC.

I'd personally consider the Technics stuff to be donation fodder, but one could probably get $30-$60 out of the set. Good saves. Keep that stuff out of the landfills. ?
