U.S. Hostess Raincoat and Handbag
As a collector of Expo 67 paraphernalia, I've always dreamt of actually owning something that a hostess wore.Well... dreams do come true!
I regularly peruse eBay's Expo 67 auctions. A few weeks ago, I noticed the official raincoat and handbag worn by U.S. pavilion hostesses up for auction.
I watched that auction day in and day out. I was prepared to bid whatever it would take to get this ultra-rare item...
Lucky for me, it only took $33.00 (U.S.)!
The coat's label tells us it was made by Travelcoats by Naman.
The label inside the handbag identifies it as an Expo 67 artifact.

What a steal! Have you tried it on?
That's a rare find and for a good price.I own a 24" by 48" flag of Man and his world,i don't know if it's very rare.I pass over a chair supposingly from a Man and his world pavillion in a yard sale 10 years ago.(a big white fiberglass cube for 5$)Shame on me.
Tried it on? No. But Maxine will be modeling it, shortly!
