I agree; nice find, ..... but I'd probably hesitate to wash them. They don't look that bad now and I'd be afraid they might fade, shrink, ..... or (considering the age) even come apart.
Not meaning to be critical: just cautious.

HA! Guess what Dennis, you were right! I washed them and almost got sick when I saw the end result. They are not that bad, but one of them faded and both of them have freyed edges now. They are still cool but not as pristine as they were when I found them. I should have just hand washed them. The dirt was just superficial. Hey, I bought them for 50 cents. Easy come, easy go!

Interesting find.

'Dry Cleaning" may have worked?

Look at the address, it was prior to Nickey's move West to 4501 Irving Park Road.

I was bidding on that Keystone Dealer Sticker.

Here is an original picture I just got off eBay. [img:center][/img]
