Hi everyone, so I got these scarves that I think are at least from the 1960s. The first one is made by Sammy that was a popular British brand back then I think. The white one hasn’t got a maker tag but a terylene tag also tells 1960s or earlier. I think terylene was patented in 1941 so perhaps...

Hello, I need help with this ..case? I was gifted from a friend because she knows how much I love vanity cases, but something about this made me curious when it was made, the leather feels and smells like real. I think it's liberty of London but couldn't even find anything similar. I am not...

Hi - I’m wondering if anyone can tell me more about this beauty case (it was donated to a charity I volunteer for). I’m presuming it is Oroton? Apart from the O on the top of the case there are no other labels or markings. The key is in the strap attached. Appreciate any views.

Trying to find out what exactly this is and what it’s worth and the story behind this. I found it in my grandmother’s closet. It’s an Elizabeth Arden made in Italy by Gucci.

Any ideas more specific than 'old'? :) I asked a costumer and she suggested 18th/19th C and said I might have more luck on a forum dating it more specifically. I believe it's glass or rock crystal (bit scratched up on the face of it) and set into either pewter or silver. It's got the little...

Hi there. My name is Robert. I inherited this mirror from my Mom. I know the mirror is a mercury mirror as the sparkles are amazing. The black hand-carved wooden frame I think may be barroque or rococo style? Not sure. Can anyone chime in as to their thoughts? Also, it takes two people to carry...

Hello Everyone! I found these cool vintage linen napkins at a garage sale. I love them, but I'm wondering what this signature says... Who designed these napkins? Is it a W? an M? an E? It also has a dot next to the larger letter/ number. (Note: if you look at the napkins with the signature on...

Hello everyone! First post. I am trying to do research on a brand called "Marcé" or "Marcé-Original". But I am having a rough go at it. They seem to have done a lot of women's coats in the 1940's, 50's, 60's. But my passion in fashion is watches. I am trying to discover WHO designed my...

Hi, I was wondering if any forum members would be able to provide any information on a pair of 'Morris Motors Ltd' driving glasses (please see photos). They turned up as part of a relative's house clearance. Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/gp/166396817@N06/9n260y At I guess I would say...

Greetings everyone. I found a couple of ifems at my local thrift/antique shops in the past couple of days. I was told by the seller that this brooch was worn by Chanel employees at Holt Renfrew in the 1980s. If anyone has further information on this I would be thankful. I appreciate any...

I found this after following a link for a 3 year glovemaker's apprenticeship offered by this british company! On their website they helpfully define the different types of seams used, which I remember us discussing a little while back: https://www.chesterjefferies.co.uk/our-gloves/ General...

Hi folks, I found this little case, I think it's for cosmetics, although no mirror, and I can't see another like it in a Google search. Or is it just the smallest case of a set, not cosmetics? Mens? It is fake leather, lining looks like rayon? There is plastic behind the elastic loops. The...

How do you authenticate a pair of Nina Ricci vintage sunglasses? I found and bought a beautiful pair of Nina Ricci oversized triangle shaped sunglasses at an antique shop in a tiny town. I paid very little for them, and wanted to know how to authenticate them. They have the classic "N" on both...

I found this bag (I hope I attached the photo correctly) in my mother-in-law's closet & am curious about it. It appears to made of leather and has no interior labels, only the "Nina Ricci" writing on the handles. The bag more of a tote, than a purse, as it is only one large interior pocket...

So I have this Schiaparelli collar and cuff set: The tag has the same "font" as the 1940's dress label I researched on the site, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure the approximate age. I have searched all over for collar/cuff sets by her and haven't found a thing. Any help...
