Looking for "bandana" info. book or web!

[Dahlila]

My latest curiosity is dating & finding vintage bandanas. (I found an interesting--to me--one at an estate sale, but I SWEAR I can not find a good resource for dating them or comparing designs. (The one book I could find, my state library system doesn't carry, something out of Japan.) SO...here I am. Any clues? Thank you in advance. xo d

I'm in the same boat as you - I love vintage bandanas and always buy them when I see them.

As for research, the only resource I've found is the "completeds" on eBay.

I'd love to see what you found!

Hi susan, I got distracted with other work & forgot I posted here! Yes, I see the "solds" on ebay, but it never talks about the designs or eras, or how they determined them. There are references to brands: Monkey, Fast Color & some others, but that's it. If I find anything I will definitely post it here.

Here is a very interesting article on the history of the bandana.

Yes, I saw that. Thank you. I still can't find what I'm looking for. Put a pin it for the moment. Too many other pieces to clean, research & post!
