Another Save From the Throw Aways

[Contentmentfarm]

Yes, ladies side zip Blue Bell Jeanies.

The only problem that they have is this color loss on the left pant leg. Any thoughts on what's up with that?

Is there anything I need to make sure to take pictures of before I list? Any keywords or suggestions for listing? TIA

Huh.
Maybe someone set something chemical (and leaking?) near these & the color loss happened over time?

Still -- I doubt that'll much effect the end price.

Fantastic save!

I'd maybe mention if there's any allowance at the hem - and maybe the selvage? Not sure that's really necessary for this brand, but I suppose it couldn't hurt!

Thanks Kristine, I'll add that to my description. I see these listed as both late 40s and early 50s. Are these really cuspers or can the be more accurately dated to one or the other?

Yeah, maybe they were too close to the bleach bottle because that's what it looks like. They don't look like they were worn much otherwise.

I would wash them and maybe the color will bleed onto the legs or at least even it out some.

This coming from someone who has destroyed loads of vintage.....

Great saves - find anything in the pocket? heh heh.

I already washed them. Didn't work.

And empty pockets. Story of my life!

, I covet these! (As opposed to the gorgeous black and gold girdle, which I greatly admire but would never wear. What can I say -- I'm built for comfort, not for speed ...)

Thanks MC, both items are starting on eBay tonight. Low opening bid and no reserve so they could both be yours!
