Just picked up this beauty on a trip to the bins this week.
This thing is up for auction tonight
here.
It's hard to find much info on this maker, but from what I can gather, they were associated with the J.C. Penny company at some point. They may have been one of the contractors Penny's used to manufacture their line of leather jackets. I've found some examples of Daniel Boone labels being sewn over Penny's labels.
At any rate, here's some photos of one awesome 40s horsehide jacket:

I have the same jacket but in a tan corduroy. Its in great shape and am looking to get rid of it. Please contact me with any ideas.
