Virtual Blanket Sale

Virginians,
Often the Quartermaster & Loaner Locker get donations or purchase items from folks retiring from the hobby. The intent of this posting is to list those items that are available for members - that meet the authenticity standards & are “one time” items that the Quartermaster will not try to stock. So here’s the first list for the “Virtual Blanket Sale” (referring to the period assumed means of placing items for sale on a blanket for folks to see as they walked by… so here we’re putting them out for you to “surf by”).

If you are interested in any of this first set email me at vampire03@aol.com to discuss / see / get fotos.

More to follow;

--Size 10 Men’s Shoes with brass buckles – BRAND NEW without a single mark on the leather soles! They’re from Robert Lamb in Canada, marked size “10 M”. Rough out leather! $ 100 for shoes & buckles.
--Ground cloth of yellowish Duck, sized 6 ½ feet by 7 feet to cover the inside of an EM tent. Simple cloth, no sewn edges, looks very similar to the material JAS Townsend sells. $ 10.
--Lanterns, tin. Two similar “Single Candle Window Lantern” styles WITHOUT the glass pane. Used with wear, but still functional. $ 10 each.
--Wool Capote, made from a blanket, just like the pattern in our Soldier’s Manual. All correctly hand stitched of blanket weight wool, very warm. No visible wear or stains, I estimate it is sized Large(as all were to go over all the other cloths); $ 65.
--Woman’s Wool Coat, very similar to a hunting shirt type construction of thick wool. The collar has fur added for warmth as well, with no visible wear or stains; $ 50.
--Black wool Hunting Shirt, used. A hand made thick wool hunting shirt (no facings, just black thick wool. I estimate sized Large, shows use but fully functional; $ 20.
