I found this set Brooks leathers with a period AMA pin at a recent local swap. I was told they were worn by an old timer who used them in the late 50's to run scrambles around the Detroit area. After I got them home I found a surprise in the back pocket of the matching pants. Good luck I'm thinking. After considering what to do with them I realized the only place they belonged was up at Gene's "museum" which is exactly where I took them this past weekend. They look right at home hanging there. Gene says he a has a period mannequin they are destined for. It's hard giving away cool rare stuff but when it's the right thing to do there is no other choice - and the sickel gods all smile down on you.

Quite the sacrifice Diesel. Those fifties-era panties are bringing top dollar. Old boy was either a cross-dresser or he got lucky with the trophy girl.
Pretty cool looking "museum."
