Hi all, I have a NOS vintage "plus size" dress (is that the correct term for a vintage, size 24 1/2), which I think dates from the 60's. Can anyone confirm that? What keywords would you use? And finally, I couldn't find anything about "Armtex" fabric (a current company makes fire retardant clothing, and is located in NC; these tags state New York NY). Does the wording on the fabric tag help date? Would that be more 70's, than 60's? Would this be considered a "scooter" (which I've seen as the shorter, knee-length "shirt dress"

Jr Comeco train case/box purse vintage or just older?
Hey there, I found this purse. I have my suspicions its just from say 80's maybe 90's if not this decade. Its by JR Comeco. I am confused because after researching Comeco website the purse is gone obviously discontinued. I have seen other versions on the internet selling anywhere form 14.99 up over 100.00...some are posted on the Bay here right now and all the postings say its vintage..or something. I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea this is truly vintage because it for one has a made in China tag and two it has a nylon zipper. Am I way off or do you think I am correct in dating this to the last two decades? I just want to be sure I have my facts straight before listing...I don't want to give the wrong information ya know...thanks as always for the opinions The URL links are below if you want to take a gander at the purse...

I'm not sure if anybody will be interested in this but I thought maybe somebody could build a dress around it or something. It was salvaged from a late 50s lined long Suzy Wong

Help, I need a fur ID!
This is a glossy red-brown jacket. The fur is much softer than mink, but it isn't rabbit. It's definitely real (it's a vintage ski jacket, with a quilted blue inside and leather elbow patches and a hood). Any ideas? Should I post a close-up of the fur?

Yummy leather trench; what are (were) the snaps for?
Hi all, I have a lovely, yummy maroon/burgundy colored leather trench, I'm guessing 1970's, and a great size 16! But my question is this - there are 3 snaps, one under the back of the collar and one on each side of the front, large fabric-covered "back" of the snaps - can you tell what they would have been for? Is "spygirl" a keyword you might use for this trench? Thanks again. Link Link Link Link

Please help in dating a vintage rhinestone hair comb?
This thing looks like a crown -- it is some type of soft plastic (by soft I mean it is slightly pliable and smooth - not rigid and hard) and there are no mold seams or flashing to indicate it was molded but there is no evidence of carving either -- it is fairly big, measuring approximately 4 1/2" at its tallest and 3 3/4" wide - Some of the little rhinestones have fallen out - any idea of an age or anything else you may know would be great - I found this today in the Salvation Army thrift - they are offering better items now that a new Goodwill moved in down the road and I was shocked to find this there. Thanks so much in advance --
