Suzette is DARLING! I used to be an antiquarian & used bookseller--I have actually come close to buying some of my own books back! The only thing that stopped me was my pencilled in code which told me the date & price of my original purchase. I wonder if booksellers still use that system? I have also been tempted to buy back my ownthings from Goodwill or consignment shops!!
Many of the old Valentine postcards, like this one, bear no date.

I've seen that kind of coding on paper doll sheets, too.
ReplyDeleteah, but what I wouldn't give to find my favorite huk-a-poo sweater (c. 1969) in a goodwill shop!
