Hey guys,
I'm amidst turning my entire life upside down selling my house I've been in since I was a kid :eek: , and I found something. It literally made my jaw hit the floor because it brought back huge memories of my original purchase of this and my totally red faced (and burning inside) upon putting the cardboard box on the counter. Into full view of some lady, who I thought was going to start pointing and laughing.
Anyhow, the little something I found was my first jock. I cant put an age on me back then, I do remember I was in early grade school and I bought it from Brooks Drugs, Which is long since.. Out Of Bussiness. I remember rushing out the door and not even waiting to get home before I pulled it from the box. Hiding my special gift inside the bag. Back then I was afraid of what others thought/said/who knew my mom ect LOL
Fast forward nearly 30 + years and me and my original jock are reunited. Its in used shape (more memories) :blowme and :hump to boot, the hard plastic cup with the green spongie stuff around the edge is still inside and intact. I was just thinking if anyones heard of this maker. Its imprinted on the lable as (from top to bottom)
Size Medium
All-star
Picture of a star
GFD logo
George Frost Co.
Berkeley Mass.
Care directions below that
Has a single red and blue tread around the 3" waistband
Just curious if this companys still in bussiness, changed names, still making jocks, ect. I havent looked on the web. Figure I would check the wealth of knowledge here first.
Yes, I will post up some pics soon of it also :)
