It is not uncommon for folks conducting Estate Sales at one location to bring the items from that estate sale that did not sell to another location and try to sell them there. Most of the items that go unsold at an estate sale become the excess property items of the estate sale company, and very often they will mix groups together for more profit if they were unsuccessful in selling them previously.
I have seen it happen many times here in Texas. I knew a woman who owned an estate sale business, and she would buy entire houses full of items and then mark the items and have huge sales. What did not sell went with her to the next sale, etc., etc. until the items finally sold. There were several occasions where I purchased multiple mixed groups of items and afterwards, I was trying to piece the groupings back together with the proper Veteran. So with that being said there is a good possibility that the shirt could have belonged to someone else and it was thrown into the group to get rid of items quicker and to make some more money by increasing the price with multiple pieces. Either way it looks like you did very well and I would still pursue the name that was found.
