well i won the 2 items that i left bids for.. which i am pleased about.... so maybe you can help me date them...

the first one is the shirt cuffs ... with mother of pearl old style cuff links...so i should imagine they are the same age as the cuffs... the cuffs are very stiff,

the other item was the lovely little should shrug....no labels

the last item i bought in a charity/thrift shop.... which i am totally landed with.... as it represents local history.. as the shop ben evans ltd was a well known department store in swansea and was bombed in 1941 and never re-opened so i know the jacket is beofre that date.. i have also put a link so you can see some photos of the old store.

thanks harriet.... i have a few items now which are from department stores/shops in swansea..... these are the items that i love collecting..... as they are good talking points as people remember the shops from when they were small, and it brings back memories for people of child hood etc.....

we have a small museum in swansea.... so they might be of use to them in the future....( ok maybe not but you never know...)
