I found similar examples on Google claiming these type of expansion bracelets are from the 40s and a few from Edwardian era. I am not not sure if the locket is original with the band. The band is marked LaPetie, Stainless Back USA Pat. Any opinions?

I found the sphinx stampings and they are not vintage, but I think the military ribbon part might be.

Thank you. Yeah, it look like it could be upcycled. I wonder how old the charms are?

I am confused by this brooch. My boyfriend says it looks military. Any idea of how old it might be? It is Egyptian style with 2 sphinx, a elephant, it is on a fabric backing and it has a C-clasp.

Thank you. I never seen anything quite like it. Victorian chatelaines are neat, would love to stumble upon one of those.

Thanks for the replies. I think it looks more like a ant. It does not really look like a spider or beetle.

These are two fairly large spiders, the largest 2.5". I think they are sterling silver because they have a purplish/copper tarnish. They both have safety catch rollers, one is broken, so it makes it look like a C clasp. Any idea how old these might be?

Thank you all for the very helpful info.

Thank you so much! I always appreciate your help.

Here you go.

Hi, it measures 17" long. At some point it had stretchy elastic.

I purchased this at a antique faire and the lady told me it was from the 20s. But I am not sure if that is true or not. She also told me that she purchased it at a antique store in the 70s and wore it back in high school. It is marked Sterling Button co. NY. I am guessing 40s-60s when sweater...

Hi, it might be a garter but when you hook it lays awkward, not flat.

You might want to try vinegar.

Hi all! Does anyone have any clue what this is? It looks like a garter but has a hook on each end.

Yes, very adorable. I love them all!

Yes it is very lonely! I found a 1950 ad that looks very similar to mine. Am I allowed to put the ad's image up?

Thanks, I looked it up and there was a 1950 ad with a pair very similar, maybe mine is Calvin Curtis but the name is just worn off.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a garter like this? Is it Victorian? The back is marked, it is hard to read, but I do see the word Eljo's.

Linn, I think you are right, it makes sense that is a tablecloth because the way the embroidery design is layed out and the center is pretty bare.

Hi, it is 94" x 95" including the fringe. The inside square measure 45.5" x 43". It is almost a sqaure. Maybe it is a tablecloth.

Thanks for your response. I realized I photograped the embroidery the wrong way, but I do agree the embroidery isn't as intricate, especillay after comparing it to a huge lot of Madeira linens I found recently. It measures about 95" x 95" with fringe.

I am wondering if anyone could help me with this shawl? I purchased it at a estate sale today. I think it is silk, because it smelled like burnt hair when I did a burn test but I think the fringe is rayon because it smelled more like paper.

Thanks all! Nicole, it is not clipped. I think the lace is cotton and it has netting lining and the garters I think rayon- sometimes I have a hard time telling the difference between silk or rayon. Laurenm, yeah it is kind of like a liberty bodice, because there is no boning or ties but I...

Thanks Joules.

Thanks Mary Jane for your feedback.

Hi, I am wondering if someone could give me their opinion about this corselet? Do you think it is 20s or 30s? and what kind of lace? Chantilly? I am, very bad at identifying lace. The top of it reminds me of 30s brassiere with the ribbon straps and tiny rosettes.

Thanks for the info. They are bigger a size 41. I know a lot of people buy them as a fetish item, some panties go for a ridiculous price, some for nothing and they are similar in style. I will research them more and find the right keywords.

Yeah exactly. It does not make any sense to me.
