Things have been going well with the first batch of books and now my eBay rating is at 19. I expect to have the uniform up for sale near the end of the month, and I hope to clear out the remaining books in lots. I'll be taking a short break from eBaying to get more shipping supplies and straighten out my accounts with my father-in-law who is supplying the collection, then I'll be ready to begin again with more collectibles.

My husband had helped me with some of the work over this past month and I'd like to thank him for that - I would never have gotten so much sold in such a short time without him. However, he doesn't have the experience with shipping that I have and that is something I advertised on the "About Me" page on eBay. I know that the Post Office and UPS can be brutal, and I can only be glad that books are fairly sturdy.

However, I am now taking over again and while this may mean that not as much is listed at a time, I can again personally guarantee the quality of the packing. Not that my husband was bad at packing, it's just that it's never been part of his job description before.

I'm going to see if I can get some of the smaller American items from WWII here so that I can list them soon - I will have to do this soon because my father-in-law is having both arms operated on just before Thanksgiving and I will need him to help me. On one hand he will get the operations over with at the same time, on the other - well, let's just say there are a lot of disadvantages to not being able to use your arms. If anyone reading this is going to have to have both arms operated on, please don't do them both the same day. I can already see that this is heading for disaster.

I have a nearly mint condition WWII women's uniform, size 34, clearly stamped with tags intact. The pants are stamped SIZE 8 with an interior tag which reads "Trousers, Jungle, W. A. Size 8 HT. 5 FT. 9" TO 5 FT. 10" Waist 34" to 36" Breech 40" to 42". "GAS FLAP" is also clearly stamped. The inside tag on the bottom of the shirt is "Waist, Wool, Women's 34, Elder Mfg. Co. P.O. No. 4284 Dated Nov. 19. 1943 Spec. P.Q.D. No. 209C Stock No. 55-W-1234 Phila. Q.M. Depot.

NOT A REPRODUCTION.
All the items in this collection are the genuine, original article.

I also have a large stack of books in very good condtion. Some will be sold as a set, and others separately.

UPDATE: Most of the books have been sold separately, but now I am eager to clear them out and I'm getting ready to sell them in lots.
