FYI: Just got this email via Pirate Ship. USPS is increasing some rates on November 18th. While the Postal Service is not adding any Holiday Surcharges this year, they are increasing Priority Mail rates everywhere you can buy postage online. Priority Mail Flat Rate is increasing up to 6%...

Found this Levi's label and I'm very curious... By the style, I think these are mid - late 70s, but I have never seen this label & am wondering if any of you are familiar with it. Not mine, btw. Many Thanks.

Full length - Rayon with pearly gray buttons at the wrist. I'm long & they reach all the way to my underarm. I don't see this particular label in the resources. I am leaning toward 50s, but if anyone knows better, please inform me. Many Thanks.

Hi y'all - A few years back, I had a link to wither a blog or a website that was a pretty detailed resource for spotting fake or sewn-in vintage labels. Pretty sure it came from VFG..? It showed the labels as they were originally sewn in for comparison. Do any of you have the link to that...

Just wanted to stop by & say Hello! I hope this finds everyone well & that life & biz has been very good to y'all. I don't know how often I'll be here (pretty busy), but I hope I can check in from time to time. I moved home to New Orleans in February & have been busy re-starting my life here...

I May Be Dreaming... I'm looking for a pair of Black Leather 40's pumps in size 8.5M - 8 1/2M - 39Euro. I can only spend about $60 or $65 total including S&H. I need them for my vacay which starts 0921/11. I'm going to San Francisco! :) Do any of you have such a thing in your stock? Many...

I saved this info about a month ago & kept forgetting to 'drop it off.' I can add some example photos later if y'all want me to. The List: Military fashion Lingerie as outerwear Leather clothing Buttoned-up collars Cut out clothing Knee high socks Women's camel coat...

Thank you in advance. Do any of you know when vendors / designers stared including XS in their sizing? I have a Vanity Fair Leopard print (yum) nightie & the label matches a 1950's ones here, but the XS size tag is throwing me. Here's my tag. I'll check back soon. Right now...

What do you call this sculptured effect on this fabric, please? All I can think of is embossed & that is waaay off. It's 100% silk. I hope you can see what I'm asking about. Not the actual print, but the way the silk fabric has a 'carved' look in the background. Thanks ever so - Leisa

I love these shoes but they kill me so it's time for them to go! My question is - do you think I can make a Bollywood ref in the description or even in the title? And if in the title, is there an Acronym for that? Many Thanks! Just three days til ...

Wanted: White 50\'s-60\'s pumps ... for my Mad Men entry. Size 8.5 or 9M or 9N or AA I am going thrifting soon, but if anyone has a pair that are on the inexpensive side, please let me know. This style is perfect, but I need them to be white. Wait til ya see the dress! Many...

One Last Jewelry Question & I Swear I\'ll Stop! Thanks again - I promise, No More Jewelry Questions after this! I could use some KW help with this choker. I'm running on empty here... All I can think of is Slave Necklace, but that isn't right. I suppose I could just call it a...

Thanks in advance. Again, my apologies for the large pics. This choker necklace belonged to my great-grandmother. I have no intentions of selling it, but I have always been very curious about it. I think it may be Victorian? My Mom always said it was made of 'pot metal.' There...

Thanks in advance! I apologize for the rather large pic, but needed to show the detail. Nice 40's or 50's ? Copper & enamel set. I can't find this hallmark anywhere. Actually, I don't even know where to look. I *think* it might be Native America, maybe? Here's a tweaked photo...

Thanks in advance! Love the huge buttons & pockets. I believe it's late 50s - early 60s. It is not gingham fabric, just Black & White checks. I watched 4 re-runs of Mad Men the other night just to see the clothes. 1st time I ever watched it. This looks like a dress Peggy might...

Jantzen Men\'s Bathing Jacket - help, please? Hi y'all. I have a Jantzen Men's terrycloth bathing jacket - Swim Jacket - Pool Jacket? What do you think the best Name or KW is? I looked at the label resource & the closest is an Aussie one from the 40's. My date guess prior to...

I'm 90% sure this dress is 60's mostly due to the print. Cotton shirtwaist with really tarnished brass buttons. No labels anywhere. Many Thanks! :kiss2: A better look at the print & colors.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me figure these out. 1. Brown leather - faille lining - weird closure & the metal is oxidized on the doo-dads. Lucite trim piece. I think 40's? Is it older? 2. What's supposed to be cream crochet with a gold band near the top. I think it's...

Do any of you know the dates Sears used the Charmode label? I'm trying to find out for a 'modern' seller. Here's her label. Many Thanks!

Just curious if anyone is familar with w/either of these labels. I don't have pics of the garments yet - just doin' some homework. Thanks so much! Leisa _________________ :: Dee Dee by Decatur This label is on super cute shirtwaist dress. Pretty sure it's 60's. I'm very familar...

Adorable 40's day dress. I'm basing that on another seller's date of their's which is the same style. No pics of the dress yet (will post after I get it ironed - sometime this century. Just wondering if anyone was familar with the label. Thanks!

Handbag Gurus - D\'ya think it\'s 50\'s? The label matches all I've found for 50's Dorset-Rex bags. I need to get better pics, but just got this Unique bag today & I'm jazzed about it. Condition is just Good. Some small nibbles on one corner of the satin. Not too terribly noticeable, but...

Column Posted - w/ Joules Hot \'Lanta Vtg Heels Update: The column is up for those of you who would like to peruse it. I DID use one of my items, but only attributed it as being "artist owned" w/a link to my facebook biz page. Hopefully that's a bit more journalistically responsible...

Update on Condition: 40\'s Swing Jacket This is odd. I took the jacket out of it's plastic garment bag a week or two ago. Since then, the fabric has softened up tremendously - to the point that I'm thinking about deleting the mention of it in my description. Burpee said she bets it's due to...

Don\'t think it\'s Vintage ... ...but does anyone recognize this logo, please? It's on a belt. Pretty sure it says Made in USA. But I don't recognize the label at all. Thanks so much.

Is there a list anywhere? I haven't a clue what Body Con means & I'm sure there are other 'names' I'm unaware of. Help? & Thanks.
