VTG 30s 40s Boys Wool Cotton Cardigan and 15 similar items

True deadstock vintage boy?s cardigan sweaters from the 1930s?40s, made by Roanoke Mills. These were unearthed in an old general store in Biglerville, PA ? the very same store that was featured (along with Miss Kitty!) on American Pickers in the episode ?Jersey Jaguar/Old General Store with a Presidential Past.? Made of a cotton/wool blend (60%/40%), these cardigans are classic school-style sweaters with button-front closures. They even still have the original paper washing instruction slips inside. Never worn, though aged slightly from decades of storage. Condition: Deadstock, never worn. Good vintage condition, with natural aging from storage. Sold as is, uncleaned to preserve originality. Provenance Note: Roanoke Mills produced utilitarian knits in the early-to-mid 20th century. The survival of unworn stock, especially with documentation and direct ties to an American Pickers?featured general store, makes these sweaters especially collectible. Style Aesthetics: ? Americana heritage / ? childrenswear collectible / ? sustainable vintage Styling Tips: Perfect for vintage children?s wear collectors or period costume wardrobes. Can be displayed as textile/heritage pieces. Historically accurate knitwear for 1930s?40s reenactment or film costuming.
