NYC Police Department Detective windbreaker, size XL, with embossed logo and name, "John," $65 or best offer
This jacket is in excellent condition -- it looks like it was never worn, though it's a little wrinked from the move. Obtained at a thrift shop in 1999, the jacket's logo proudly declares "City of New York Police -- World's Greatest Detectives" in gold. The name "John" is embossed in cursive on the right chest. I thought it would fit my (now) brother-in-law, John, but it's just too darn big. Nylon with polyester lining.

Beer can collection
These 165 cans were collected painstakingly by me as a teen, then boxed in excellent or mint condition all these years. About 29 cans are in less-than-excellent condition (faded, rust spots, small dents, etc.). About 60 have their pull tabs intact (opened on the bottom) and there's a unique 6-pack of Billy Beer (5 pull-tabs out of 6).
Buy now for $50 or make an offer! The cans are in Chicago and a pick-up is highly preferred.
These images show: (1) Bottom-opened steel and alum; (2) top-opened steel; (3) Billy; (4) top-opened alum & oddsize; (7) bottom-opened, not mint; (6) top-opened, not mint.

Antique newspapers
NOTES:
- Click any thumbnail image with blue border to see larger image in new window.
- All prices "or best offer" unless stated otherwise.
- Many are from just after JFK assassination.
- Several from right after MLK was assassinated.
- Also Reagan elected; John Lennon murdered,
others. See LIST.
- All are yellow and some are frayed, as described
below. They are in great condition,
however, considering they turned up stacked in a box that had
been moved many times.
- The photos were lit poorly and make them
look MUCH WORSE than they really are.
- All papers are in clear plastic sleeves.
- MAKE AN OFFER on any or all. The papers may
also go on ebay.com or amazon.com if I can't sell
them here.
See below for pix and pricing.
