I found this 2 piece set from the thrift store with a tag that says "Italian Pavilion New York". It's 100% wool, unlined, and it has a metal zipper on the side. The buttons are metal, and it has some small shoulder pads. I can't find anything online about "Italian Pavilion" in New York except for the Italian Pavilion building, constructed for the 1939 World's Fair in New York. I found out that they sold various Italian goods there, including clothing products. I am not sure, however, how long that building was standing, and whether or not other "Italian Pavilions" were present at other World Fairs held in New York (1893, 1901, 1904, 1933, 1939, 1962, 1974, 1982, and 1984). If this set was from a World Fair expo, I feel certain it was either 1939 or 1962, but that is quite a leap of time. The style of it has me thinking 1962, but part of me wonders if it's earlier. Does anyone have additional insight for me?
