Rose Bowl find from this past Sunday. Panoramic workers photograph... Seattle Gas Co. "Shops" Seattle, Washington, Aug 11, 1938.  Photo credit C. Hafford

Scanned image revealing a treasure trove of vintage workwear including a great collection of Express Stripe Overalls & Coveralls, Chambray Work Shirts, Work Boots, Hats and Caps.  Too may great looks to mention them all but 5th from lower left and what looks to be the main man top row center (seen top row 2nd from right) are killing it.

Great glasses seen upper row 3rd from right, awesome pocket on the coveralls upper row 5th from right and jacket with ball chain zipper pull seen bottom row 2nd from left are just a few of the many details worth mentioning.


Seattle's Gasworks Park... from a place of  natural beauty to an industrial wasteland and back again.
From its industrial past rises one of the most unusual parks in the world.

Rose Bowl Flea Market Finds

Just a couple of items spotted & grabbed during a few of my all too brief excursions from our booth. Who says you cant find anything good on the cheap anymore.

Globe Oak Card File found about 4 months ago for $10

4 Meese Inc. Canvas Baskets found 2 months ago for $25 ea.

CITY ICE DELIVERY CO. CANVAS BAG Part 2

Found this great BIG bag this past month at the Rose Bowl Flea. Before the end of the day, I was offered 3 times what I paid for it from someone who saw it in the back of our booth. He liked it so much he left us his number just in case we decided to sell it at a later time. I remembered seeing a similar City Ice Delivery Co. Canvas Bag posted by Michael on ACL and recall being a bit jealous at the time (and not the first time). I decided to clean this one up and hang on to it; if nothing else I’ll use it to lug around some tools.

Nice logo

Another nice logo hiding on the inside

Much respect to the benchmark that is A Continuous Lean.
