GUEST: I overheard a conversation of things being thrown out of an attic, and so I got to it, and I rescued these from the dumpster.
APPRAISER: Were they here in New Orleans?
GUEST: In Georgia.
APPRAISER: I think that they probably all date from the late '40s or '50s. The two denim jackets, the jeans, and the coveralls that you're wearing. The jackets are both Old Kentucky. The jeans are Lee Riders. And then your piece is Hercules. The two jackets, they're very interesting, because they have a lot of detail that's different from the typical denim jacket that we see today. And they both have a flannel lining in them. You've got these very interesting pleats, and then your pockets with the extra stitching, all the added pieces make them more desirable. There's three main markets if you want to sell this type of item. That would be a clothing designer in this country, the film industry, and then the Japanese market, because they're buying up a tremendous amount of denim. On the two jackets, I would say the value would be between $250 and $450.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: The jeans-- the button-fly adds to the value of the jeans. A zipper would not be quite as desirable. They're probably $250 to $400. And your coveralls, probably $250 to $450 for the coveralls.
GUEST: Wow.
