Similar things happened during the Great Depression. Many things made in that era before the war are highly sought after since the craftsmen who had jobs at the time were often among the best in their field.

Musical instruments from the 30’s are legendary.

Yale’s new employee tour was like that, too. They walked us around campus and one of the things they highlighted was how much nicer the Depression-era stuff was than the decades before or after because the amount planned suddenly bought a lot more and they apparently had a windfall in the form of top-notch Italian stone workers who’d immigrated because the job market was even worse back home.
