eBay Seller: american archive Years of Service: 2 Transactions: 2200+ Feedback: 100% Policies: They strive for 5 stars. Motto: “Quality vintage clothing for guys & girls.” I first stumbled across American Archive about a year ago when I pitted some sellers against each other for the best facial hair on eBay title.

But ever since the heartbreaking loss on that chilly September day, sadly, Casey has trimmed a lot of his mane away. American Archive on the other ... Read more
