Green Corduroy Steampunk Jacket

She was my baby for so long, but I just never wear her anymore and I just kept her for the nostalgia. So, instead of having her in great condition just collecting dust, I decided to pass her on to a good home. God, I’m describing her like a cat, huh? lol Green Corduroy Steampunk Jacket Green Corduroy Steampunk Jacket…

Desert Storm Aviator Glasses

…there is also a neat bit of provenance included (the original case with the “return to” tag filled out) that ties these to the 193rd Special Operations Wing, an Air National Guard unit based in Middletown, PA, circa 1990. The unit was responsible for E-130 psychological warfare operations (TV/radio jamming, etc.) during Desert Shield/Storm. Desert Storm Aviator Glasses Desert Storm…

USS John S. McCain

This ship was dedicated for Senator John McCain’s father. The provenance is: (The launch took place several years ago at the Bath Ironworks shipyard in Bath, Maine.

Schiaparelli Lingerie Bag

In 1948, my mother graduated high school and went to work as a secretary in Manhattan. She continued working until she got married and moved away in 1962. During that period, she accumulated closets full of stunning dresses, suits, sweaters, purses, belts, hats, gloves, coats, lingerie and accessories that were all from the New Look period.  It was all bought…
