Random things found in the pockets of thrifted clothing.

Been thinking about starting this thread for a while. Post the interesting odds and ends, valuables, cash etc that you find in your thrifted clothing.

Found these in a thrifted VTG 1950's Sport Coat today.

Original 1950's McNeil Tylenol, before they actually named it Tylenol.

My favorite pocket find was a bullet.

This one from some time about 2 years ago.....

Found these Gitman Bros, Made in Italy, pants. Can't find much on them and am beginning to think they were a bad buy, even at $3.99

Practically new...............................

Apparently worn, maybe once, by a Phillies fan...................

Who didn't know exactly where was the best place to store his cash.......

Guess they were worth the $3.99 after all.
No one ever said Phillies fans were the smartest folks in the world.

In the pocket of a hole-ridden J.Press sport coat, I found a bag of cufflinks. After turning them in, one of the workers let me keep a pair. I kept the pair of 22k gold 1882 $5 coin cufflinks. Sold for about $900.

My second coolest pocket find was a bag of weed, which I also turned in. The cashier did not let me keep any of that unfortunately.

A little geeky numismatic observation... The tickets are for a Philadelphia - New York game. The top hundred dollar bill was printed in Philadelphia. The bottom bill was printed in New York.

I don't have a picture, But I picked up a nice, clean pair of grey shoes from eBay about a year ago, and inside the right shoe, I fished out a cheeky £5 note!

It's safe to say that that was a good day....

Well, I have nothing fun to add except that DRL scares me sometimes, I mean really, who looked close enough at those hundreds to catch something like that? Maybe you should work for the secret service doing counterfeit work.
While I have not found anything really cool yet I will say that the two items I find most often in jacket breast pockets are wedding and funeral announcements. Often makes me happy and sad.

I was at the beach a couple of weeks ago. While there, I visited several thrifts. At one of the thrifts, they had those dressing rooms which were nothing more than a wooden enclosure with a curtain for privacy. My wife and I overheard a woman in the fitting room talking on her phone. The conversation went like this, "Hi! Do you remember that dress you have that I love? Well, you must have recently donated it because I am trying it on and I found your debit card in the pocket."

Which one makes you happy and which one makes you sad? The association can't be assumed.

Tough question now that you ask. I guess the fact that they attended the funeral is better than being in your honor. And many might argue that getting married is the crane thing. Not me, but many.

Found this today, in a vintage Harris Tweed top coat.

The tweed I was taking pictures of yesterday kind of smelled like smoke. Pulled these out of the pocket. Pretty depressing note about a guy with a lung disease along with the matches he used to light the cigarettes that likely gave it to him.
