Canadian trousers

Hi everybody,

New find: these trousers dated 1940.
Do you know what does the marking beside the C mean ("...ready clean...") ?





Cheers!

That is the C broad arrow which is equivalent to the British broad arrow. It is a Canadian military/government property stamp.

Hi,
I know for the C, but what does the marking at the left mean ?

sorry for my english

No, it's not a problem with your English, I made a mistake when I read your post.

That is a good question, I'm not familiar with that stamp. Looks like "Ever ready clean(ing?)" It's my understanding that BD did not get cleaned very often so maybe it's a stamp applied after going through some sort of commercial cleaning process? Did they even have dry cleaning during the war?

Okay thanks for your reply, I think you're right :)
