The same size is $329 today.<br /><br />According to an inflation calculator I found online, $11.85 in 1933 was the equivalent of $198.26 today... not $329. I suppose we have to take into account other things, such as availability of specific materials and how that affects the raw material price beyond basic inflation, etc.. But still. I think I'm being ripped off today! The new blanket is probably not even made of quite the same materials and with the same craftsmanship.<br /><br />What I do love is to see how enduring some styles are. Of course the quality of many of the products is in decline, but I love thinking that people in 1933 wore pretty much exactly the same style which is still available today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-12242852196798398772011-08-08T06:17:15.629-07:002011-08-08T06:17:15.629-07:00made in the USA?made in the USA?DSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-29280647940553974102011-08-06T12:21:23.996-07:002011-08-06T12:21:23.996-07:00How do I find out if the transportation bag is com...How do I find out if the transportation bag is compatible with my particular buckboard?<br /><br />Also, I am gratified that someone finally listened to the market and made a shoe for wide, tender feet that like to tramp all day long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-5992563067553732092011-08-05T22:07:47.807-07:002011-08-05T22:07:47.807-07:00*Sigh* Tell me again when the time travel app wil...*Sigh* Tell me again when the time travel app will be available.andrea.at.the.blue.doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532947489421472003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-35383592897133875602011-08-05T19:08:07.665-07:002011-08-05T19:08:07.665-07:00I desire those blucher mocs.
