Antiques Roadshow

GUEST: This is, I believe, a 1960s paper suit jacket.

We found it in an attic folded up in a plastic bag, and I don't think it's ever even been worn.

We paid $15 for it, which might be a lot for a piece of paper, but we think it was worth it.

APPRAISER: I would date this circa 1965.

It is paper, based on the yellow pages.

This says it's from "Waste Basket Boutique of Mars of Asheville-- do not wash." (guest laughs) APPRAISER: There you go, that, that, right there, don't wash it.

They were meant to be worn once or twice and disposable.

We normally see these in dresses.

It's, like, suit jacket, or like a pajama jacket, really.

I think if you were going to buy this, you'd have to pay about $375 for it.

GUEST: Wow!

For a piece of paper!

Whoa!

APPRAISER: Well, yeah, it's cool.
