Not really sure, people collect everything these days, Steam Punk if nothing else.
Google should fill in the details.

Well according to the show "American Pickers" any time they find anything LOOF, they buy it....but you know these shows..what to believe, what not to believe...

Thanks!Hmm,thats interesting,those guys do know their antiques.No holes in this jacket that I could find some fraying on inside of collar,would display very well. Maybe I scored afterall!I did a google search and the L.O.O.F was formed in 1819 in the US so this jacket could be REALLY old,thought it looked it,will send America Pickers some photos and see if they are interested.
