I have some used items for sale. They’re not all Civil War era. No personal messages, please contact me at gnlafrance@hotmail.com. Money orders only. Questions? Please ask by item number. Clothing will be dry-cleaned before shipping.
Prices are pretty firm. Discounts for multiple purchases. Priority Mail shipping and insurance are included in the price. I’ll do my best to describe these items. No pics - the only way I can get pics onto my hard drive is to buy expensive Polaroid film and run them through a very user-hostile Canon scanner. There are too many items to make pics of each one.
I’m 5’7” and wear a 40 regular suit coat, 34 inch waist at the navel.
