A neat antique high school or college varsity sweater. The sweater features a large letter "W" sewn on one side. It still has the original label and owners name "Kandel All National, Kandel Knitting Mills, Portland, oregon. Bud Schad". The sweater is heavy and feels like it is made from wool. There is no size but it seems to be for a boy as it is cut wide in the shoulders but narrow in the chest and waist, I would guess it is a size Medium. The sweater is in very good overall condition and looks like it was hardly used, the wool still has a lanolin smell so it hasn't been laundered. There are a few small spots including one on a cuff and the other just below the "W". It has one tiny pull. The sweater has seamed sleeves and when it was made there is a bit of pulling where the pattern changes at the cuff, it is not damaged, it is just the way it was made. The sweater would make a great display item!
