Another question. I have had these red glass knotted beads for a while. I was told that they are cranberry beads and are from the 30s. Any opinions?

Thanks for the feedback.

Any opinions about this dress?

I think it looks 1930s.

I agree, the style of the dress looks very 1940s, especially with that sweetheart neckline. Rayon was very popular in the 40s too. I am not sure about the slip.

I would guess a butterfly/balloon sleeve.

Hi, Thanks all for the nice comments.

The bathing suit looks 30s maybe early 40s to me, wool was popular in the 20s/30s and that might be some sort of team logo.

You could do a burn test to see if it is silk by snipping off a tiny piece of fringe, if it is silk it will smell like burning hair. But also rayon was used in the 30s too.

Thanks for the information it helps a lot.

Thanks for the info :)

Hi, I don't think it is antique but I would want it to be at least vintage. I don't think I want to purchase shawls anymore, unless I know for certain of its age.

Hi Joules! Thank you both for the compliments.

Another question. Does anybody have any idea what type of fabric this is? It has a unusual heavy thick netting texture. I am guessing rayon?

Can anybody give me a idea how old this shawl might be? The material feels like rayon.

I am not a expert on fur but the style looks older to me, maybe 20s-30s? I found a Sears Roebuck ad of a seal cape for 4.95 from 1898. But this one had fluffy fur border.

The dress looks 70s to me. It seems like when I look at a 70s label about 75% of the time it is a synthetic fiber.

Thanks for your response. I definitely do not think it is antique anymore. I find dating lace very confusing, there are so many different types.

Hi, I know Lanvin is Haute Couture and mine is not. I just wanted to show the similarity in the style.

That's a little tricky. I would guess 40s-50s.

Thanks for your response. I think it is nylon, I do not think it is cotton, it is definitely not silk. Yeah it has a hood and a extra hole for a bun. I believe is a veil.

Can somebody give me a opinion of the lace on this mantilla? What era do you think it came from and what type of lace it is? The lace has a netted texture. I am researching and it kind of looks like Chantilly lace?

Thanks for your response. I think the filigree looks cast and the necklace does have some weight. The first picture is the back of it and the last pic is the front.

Thanks for the responses. I am very clueless when it comes to jewelry. Good thing I did not pay much for it. Do you think it could be at least vintage maybe 60s?

Does anybody have any idea how old this necklace might be? I believe it is made of brass. The lady I bought it from told me it is Victorian but I want a second opinion.

Thank you for your response, it is very helpful.

Thank you for the response. I had no idea they were from Spain.

Does anybody know what decade these type of rayon ribbon shawls really came from or when they were popular? I have seen people list them as 1920s all the way to 1970s. I am very confused.

Hi, that looks like a 90s dress and label to me.

Can somebody give me a idea how old this ribbon garter belt might be? I believe the ribbon is rayon. I know that ribbon lingerie was popular in the 20s and it kind of looks like the style but I do not think it is that old. I am guessing 1940s-50s.
