    My Vintage Sneaker Collection!! Niketown USA!

    What a neat collection Alex! It's great to have a go-to person on board for when we have Nike questions (and I'll definitely be taking a closer look at them from now on when I shop, lol).

    What a wonderful shot of that grizzly! And terrific cause! Which shop is your shirt in Maggie (I couldn't locate it -- did it sell?)

    Garland's 'Wizard of Oz' dress to join ruby slippers at auction

    I think you're right Onceoza. When Reynolds gave a tour on the news, I remember the dress being on display in a glass case. I don't recall the shoes, but the gingham dress for sure.

    "Cat Not Included" Cat model (or interloper) Etsy Treasury

    Omg, that has to be the cutest treasury ever! And so much good stuff for shopping (now if only there were a human sized version of that green sofa). ;)

    Wool jacket - help date please =)

    Thank you for your response Jen. I would like to show the similarities, but without misleading or keyword spamming, and was not sure if those who collect 49er's are strict about that. I'll put it in the keywords as you've suggested but will be sure to tiptoe carefully. ;)

    Wool jacket - help date please =)

    Thank you for asking this question Tylula, as I have a question also (love those Pendelton ads Lizzie). Can the term "49er style" or something similar be used? Or is that a no-no? It's in regard to this Kerrybrooke jacket specifically ... Thanks for your help.

    Are these lucite bangles?

    From the pics, they appear to be. I continue to see that green hue with marbling in newer plastics, and can't know without handling it, but if it 'feels' right, it likely is. That laminate piece is intriguing with it's decorative nail tacking. Would love to be able to handle that one!

    When is this A Regel 1/20 12K brooch from?

    Very pretty -- it looks very 40's/50's. Since it's a goldfill and alloy combo (rather than with sterling), I would venture to say 50's. Maybe a search for some old A. Regel jewelry ads could shed more light on when they were in business.

    help dating sterling and pearl pin, please

    Very pretty and looks 40's. It doesn't seem to follow a particular 'place of origin' style, but likely .925 up to .950 silver with that stamp and coloring (going by my monitor). I see some nice hand chasing and what looks like some yellow adhesive behind the pearls (is that right?) which...

    and a bracelet and earrings set

    I have that same set Liza, but as a choker and bracelet -- it's dense and very well made correct? If I recall, mine has a flat hook catch. I'd say you're on the money with the date.

    HELP WITH DESIGNER PROTOTYPE JEWELED/ EMBELLISHED "PLASTIC" SHIRT / VEST

    It almost looks like a heavy unprocessed vellum. So intriguing!

    Is this pin anything?

    It looks like fired porcelain from here with a bit of overpainting as mentioned by Carrie -- but hard to see the detail. Looks like gold vermeil (appears rose gold on my monitor). Very pretty and a nice find

    Mobile VIntage -- Out of a Trailer

    Oooh aqua (my favorite) and chrome! I wish I could have seen it Amber, and I must say you're right Mary -- not much in the way of color or prints. Trish, we'll have to go and check it out. I do like the non-frill of it all!

    old perfume bottle

    It looks like Birmingham 1907, but don't think that that particular cap is original (looks like Scandinavian glass). Wonderful!
