Bob Pins Fresco has held up pretty good in the last ten years. Luck of a northern exposure.

    Interesting. Blank is our family name. Most were in NY, but my dad’s dad moved them to VA in 1915. I am always curious about other Blanks, most were tailors.
    Any info on who J S was?

    Joseph Blank was a Neckwear designer. He owned the oldest handmade neckwear factory in the city. His daughter Barbara still runs the company. The neckwear is still handpressed. I used to buy neckwear from her company. If you get the chance to meet Barbara she is a true gem.
