I am so happy for this thread, as I don't have many people in my life than can appreciate how fun finding vintage treasures is!
In one thrift shop, I found 4 1950s Blazers, with original store tags from The Dayton Company in Minneapolis. In one of the pockets, was the sales receipt of two of the jackets from 1952! Mrs. J. J. Grant at the Lowry Hotel.
Needless to say, I was so excited to find new old stock! Especially, from a defunct department store with a big reputation.
One week later, I took a trip back to the same store and found 3 pair of shoes, and 3 slips with the same Daytons label, and one very stained but new cashmere sweater from The Dayton Oval Room!
Who was this woman and why did she have all this stock so many years later! One thing I know, she had tiny 6 1/2 AA feet!!
Thank you VFG for letting me share!
