Found this heavy knit cashmere sweater in Goodwill last week. The company is Johnstons of Elgin, based in Hawick, Scotland. Their products are rather pricey, ranging from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars. 🤑💸 I can't find this exact sweater on their site, but I can hazard a guess at the ORP and set a fair price on it from there. 🙂💵
Note: The tag says it's a small, but it seems to be more like a medium or large. Maybe Scottish women are bigger? 😉
@POOetryma wow! That’s a good score!
@NorCalCherylLyn I have a heavy, 2 ply, cable knit cashmere sweater from Polo Ralph Lauren that originally retailed for $999, and last year, I got a custom made suede shirt made in Italy. Including air fare, that shirt cost close to $2000.
@POOetryma wow! Score!!
I love thrift stores. Don’t go much because room is an issue but was bummed that my favorite one closed. It was run by a local charity that’s a favorite of Sacramento. Wealthy women especially support them. They donate some incredible stuff!
@NorCalCherylLyn Found this three cent note (yes, you read it right: 3¢) in a family Bible in Goodwill last year. Fractional denomination notes were issued during the Civil War due to coin hoarding. This was signed by a friend of the Bible's owner, a Civil War veteran from Ligonier, Indiana, possibly as payment for a debt. I sold it to a coin shop for $28. (There was some genealogy info in the Bible, as well. I photographed it and left the Bible.)
@POOetryma there’s always something interesting in piles of what looks like junk. The CW money is cool! Never heard of such denominations.
@POOetryma so darn cool!
