Moth eaten Aero on eBay going cheap.

[Southoftheborder]

Saw this when I was checking eBay and it has the most moth eaten knits I think I've ever seen. Good buy for someone who wants a cheap A2 and doesn't mind getting the knits replaced and touching up a bit of surface damage. Fifty notes can't be bad.

Jeez those moths must have been hungry.

Good project but I think I'd stick it in the freezer first...

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Termites maybe?

...at about 20 below for a month, just to be on the safe side.

I would meet the mailman outside of the house and take the jacket and cut all of the knits off the jacket put them in a plastic bag and throw the bag in a dumpster someplace. Then place the jacket in another plastic bag and place it in the freezer for about a week. That should do it.

And here I thought this was a 40s vintage Aero -- wot the hell?

Patch and label would be worth the start bid...

That ain’t moth damage... Would guarantee that the mice found that & wanted the wool to build some nests. Moths “eat” but that’s just been chewed up.

Someone bought it. I wonder if it was anyone here?

Yep

The collector I bought my painted "Better Duck" Bronco A2 from back in the '80s had had it restored as the knits had not just been eaten by mice but some of the leather on one of the sleeves as well, but it had such beautiful original paint I couldn't resist

Yep

If it was mice... its going to STINK!
