What on earth is this about?
A tailcoat with velvet shawl collar... Appears to be 1930's.
I can't think of a purpose for this garment other than maybe a stage costume (a magician?)...

Dear ladies of the Lounge...
I've bought this two silver rings for a gift, assuming them to be 1930's.
However I am not sure as ladies jewelry is not my field of expertise.
I would appreciate if someone could confirm this or even give a more exact dating.
Thank you in advance.
Found this at the fleamarket.
I've got no idea what the purpose of this object was.
It has two decorative plates like cufflinks and a flexible twisted shaft.
It is as long as a collar pin.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I've got a 40's suit (worsted wool pinstripe) with serious glue stains on the back!
It is some liquid general all-purpose glue (not instant/contact glue) that has soaked partially through the fabric.
I don't think these are "period" stains, but from some later decade.
Photos...
This one is rather nice... Looks good for Edwardian to 1930's style IMO.

Lovely, exotic SB suit jacket with waistcoat. Alas the trousers are gone... would still work with cream flanells.
A very small size!
