This is the first post in a new, regular series that will feature discarded items plucked from Bay Area streets, flea markets, thrift stores, and other nooks and crannies.
In the spirit of Found Magazine, the U.K.'s Is This You?, and the FoundPhotos community in Livejournal, we call on you to submit your interesting Bay Area finds, including photos, objects, and letters to found.at.sfist.dot.com. In order to be considered, please tell us where you found the item and any other info you would like to include. (Remember, it has to be an item whose previous owner was unknown.)
This featured collection is by far one of our favorites that we picked up at Community Thrift a couple of years ago. We were told by people in FoundPhotos that the landscape in the photos appeared to be in Santa Barbara, a mission and a winery, respectively.
Two more photos of our happy, fashionable fellows after the jump!

i am horny for this idea. is there anyway you can also include short info about the circumstances of the find (location/time) when available?
Glad you like the idea! Sure, the more info the better.
As noted, the above photos were found at Community Thrift a couple of years ago, in a basket on the counter by the jewelry. I don't know if the basket is still there--it's been a while since I looked for it.
Captions are welcome to!
Beach scene looks like Carmel. A popular gay day-tripper's destination circa 1983, no?
