i am sure with a little patience any of you interested can explore the topic simply by adding/typing 'vintage danskins' in the search box and following up all of the links@photos which is exactly what i did (to augment this post) other than that 1961 which was 'connected' to what you will see on friday...a lot of this is sold on ebay and a lot of it is on archival type sites ect...
this topic is totally dead for me...never ever had any interest but on the other hand for our moderator its one of his favorite topics
