Barbara and George Sr. have some pretty cool (well, actually warm) headgear. George Sr. looks like a coyote is sleeping on his head. Barbara looks like they were just leaving the house, realized it was going to cold and she grabbed someone else's ear muffs out of the glove box.
It just looks a little suspicious to me. I know they are supposed to have been found in the dirt, but if they are what the seller claims them to be, is it wise to display them ON dirt? (I'm assuming this is not the mine they were pulled out of.) Antique texiles are pretty fragile and laying them out on the dirty ground, in full sunlight is NOT the way to conserve the fabric. Anyone who watches Antique Roadshow - even on casual basis - would know this, and would be running to the nearest expert in fabric conservation! With an item like this, I'd sure like to see a LOT more detailed pictures.
Also, wasn't there something on TV recently about antique Levis? Just wondering.
