    Gunne Sax Perticularities

    The word rare is thrown around a lot. Gunne Sax produced copious amounts of these dresses; so unless it was a one off (and can be proven) or it was worn by a well known person, I would not pay much attention to the word. We do not do assessments here. Researching ask prices (and that does not...

    Help dating vintage purse

    Does it say baby alligator? I’m no expert but I was under the impression the small dots are remnants of a crocodile’s hair follicle. This characteristic distinguishes a crocodile from an alligator. Hopefully someone will be along to help with date. I’m leaning towards 50s, but not certain.

    Help dating vintage purse

    I’m not sure about the clasp, but I do think the skin with those dots is crocodile. What is the lining? Any markings or labels?

    Vintage girls cape

    A 1968 girls Simplicity pattern #8072 shows a similar double breasted cape and also a dress that appears would be slightly shorter than the cape. As a young girl - circa 64 to 66 (so long ago now!) - I had a coat with a matching dress and cap in plaid but in blues and greens.

    Help dating a Schiaparelli purse

    Great find. The symbol looks more like the one for Italian lira. 5000 lira was about $8.00 USD back in the day. If it was, as suggested, 50.00 British pounds that would have been the equivalent of $140.00 USD back then - unlikely for a change purse, I think.

    dating Gucci polyester narrow tie.....60s? 90s?

    I don’t think it’s the Gucci we know and I also think your tie may be older. The CA # registry was revamped in 1997 and anything that predates 1997 shows as 1997. I’ve seen that label on my rounds and I think I may even have a few but I am really doubtful they are the high end Gucci. You...
