Wall Ironing Board

[Major]

First topic message reminder :

As a kid I remember a wall ironing board 'fixed' to the scullery wall, pulled it down to use and just pushed it back up when finished..

Cannot find a picture though.

Waaaaay back in the early 70's ...working with the illegals around the quarter horse & thoroughbred breeding & training farms; the illegals usually had 'Dickie' brand jeans to wear.  Seems their parents did a lot of shopping from the Sears & Roebuck Catalog ...they were tickled to know that there was a 'Lee' jean outlet right downtown Omaha that they could get more jeans for their wages.

I've never heard of Dickie brands??????????
Did you know that the oldest pair of Levies ever found were valued at a million dollars?
Found down a old gold mine ripped to bits.
I don't know if they were ever sold but it's amazing how valuable some things become given time

Had a brother stationed in Germany (circa 70's) and those locals were NUTS for anything western ...hats/boots/especially jeans ...well worn the better. I started buying up all of the used jeans I could get my hands on and shipping them over to him - he resold them at a hefty markup and paid me for all my freight costs, plus my cut of the business.  
The 2 years he was stationed there was very profitable for both of us.
