Description
Two identical mint green Elbeco brand button down shirts, still unopened in the original plastic wrapping. These shirts were part of the standard issue Metropolitan Transit Company worker's uniform in the 1970s and 1980s. They were owned -- but never used -- by Metro employee Mike Clark of Minneapolis, who drove a bus for the MTC for 35 years. Mr. Clark's complete uniform, including a summer and winter outfit and spare shirts, were donated by his wife, Kathy Clark, in 2012.
