Description
As the years pass, it is increasingly uncommon to find tangible mementos of the past. Such items hearken back to what some see as simpler days, or golden years. Such was the case for turkey-hunting products that followed the restoration of wild turkeys, when millions of hunters caught gobbler fever. The items, such as this personalized jacket belonging to Southland's Junior Robinson, evoke memories of the shows, the calls, the people, and the hunting experiences that many now cherish. Such vintage clothing items have developed a passionate following among collectors, who want to enjoy and preserve these links to our past. Finding a decades-old article in such great condition is even more of a rarity. The back of the jacket features an old company logo and the motto "Proven in Field and Competition."
