    I think it’s from the 1950s because of the Orlon on the tag but the zipper dates to 1930s !

  2. What a cute set! I agree with your initial thought of 1950s. Your label is very like a 1950s example in VFG's Label Resource.
    Can we see a photo of the zipper and know why you date that to the 1930s? (I'm just curious.)

    Thank you so kindly for the information!!! That is very helpful!:) I attached a picture of the zipper sorry it’s a little hard to see but it’s identical to the one in the reference photo of the 1930s! The whole structure of it

    I agree with 50s and not that I am an expert in zippers but I definitely don’t associate that kind with 30s necessarily

  7. Glad to help!
    That Talon zip may have been introduced in the 30s, but it was not exclusively manufactured/used in the 30s. I believe it's a fairly common zip and I, like Victoria, don't necessarily associate it with the 30s.

  9. I would date both your cute set and the zipper as '50s.
