<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Happy!, post: 38438, member: 237&quot;]So as I showed this on the Finds Thread last night. This was indeed in with costumes </p><p>from our big city&#039;s opera company. Just given away, when they were thinning out theirwardrobe. </p><p><br /></p><p>Am a bit bothered now that I know the history and will be treating it better, feel it </p><p>deserves more respect. It is wrinkled for now, and pretty unkempt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would like a more tighter timeline on the buttons/badge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would like to know a date range on the wool coat itself, it may have nothing to do with the buttons/badge. Pic of inside jacket sleeve area, which appears to be cotton, </p><p>which would match the hot locale, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pics I posted last night and some more.&nbsp; Used lighting and contrast on some.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was fun discovering the buttons&#039; background. Look closely at the button and see if </p><p>you can figure out what it says. It is like a treasure hunt. Love learning about history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Haven&#039;t had as many finds as the rest of you and do not know if any part of this is </p><p>worth selling and where to do that. Wondering where it has been all these years and </p><p>how it got here--wish it could speak!</p><p><br /></p><p>The adornments:&nbsp; [ATTACH]9694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9698[/ATTACH]</p><p>The jacket itself:&nbsp; [ATTACH]9699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9701[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
