    I found this thing in my grandfather's trunk and have no idea as to what it is. It looks like a yellow jacket with buttons on each side and green wool on the inside. There is a hood-like thing that includes four red holes. Could it be fire related? Any information would be much appreciated because I have never seen one of these before!

    Well, a size would be helpful, but it looks like an old horse's hood to me...

    It's part of his satanic cult uniform. Lets hope you never find the rest of it as the complete kit has strange powers and you will be compelled to put it on and become strange shapes and smells. And stuff.

    Well like I said, I've never seen this before so I couldn't even guess what it is. Plus the horse blanket was not my grandfather's.

    Cheryl was the one that really nailed it. I just ran with her suggestion.

    Cody, General George Marshall, your avatar, would have certainly recognized this. Believe he started his military career in the calvary of that day or at least had quite a lot of equine experience at Virginia Military Institute and at the army Infantry - Calvary College at Ft. Leavenworth

    You may have seen in my other post that I work at his former home, Dodona Manor! He definitely would have recognized this. Thanks for your help
