a WW2 pilot silk escape map. i found it at a really cool estate sale. IN the attic. no idea why i took it. was a 1900ish old house in good shape that they were planning on tearing down! i got pics of the house somewhere. 'goldie' was a volunteer for POST war. i got a photo album too. and lots of her overseas stuff. the house did need some 70's removed, but it wasn't a tear down but great location location location. i decided my brother was not worthy and got $60+ on ebay for it. mainly europe.
