Good morning all,

Per ...

Note the trench coat section. Burberry mentioned but not "London Fog" brand.

I now know the contraction history of "cotton textile".

It's upside down in lower left quadrant of picture 4, but it is a tube of Pepsodent.

I admit it; I would buy a Butler-stamped stainless steel knife of WWI era.

The US Army called zippers "slide fasteners"...having learned this at a class on the field telephone.

Note the history of wristwatches.
