Help identifying a sweater's era

[Elvgren_girl]

Hi Folks,

I have this wool sweater that's been in my collection for years, and I'd like to put it on Ebay. Trouble is, I really don't know what era it's from.

The tag reads:

Reg U.S. Pat. Off.
100% Virgin Wool
"Radio"
A Better Knit Jacket
Pat. Sept. 1st 1925

I *don't* think the sweater itself is from 1925, I think it's later, but I am hoping that perhaps someone might have an idea.

The buttons are super cool though... they remind me of swirly bakelite. Any help would be adored!

looks like a man's early '30s sweater.

(if its my size i'll probably buy it)

Images of the tags and the sweater would help alot. Dating is quite easy when one can combine style with typeface/set etc.

Hi Gentlemen,

Baron I think I fixed the problems with the images! Herring - here are the measurements although just a disclaimer... it's in great condition but wow is it ever the itchy and scratchy show....

All measured flat:

Shoulders seam to seam: 18.5
Sleeve 19.5 cuff 5
Armpit to armpit 19
Collar to hem 26.5
Hip 18

I usually post as no international shipping but of course I'll make an exception! I'll definitely post when it's up on ebay. hope it's your size!

I have your answer

That's obviously from the Box That Bad Boy Up And Send It To Scott era.



Wish it were my size. Been lookin' all winter for one like that.

Yessir, I sure will ship it to you. Just use the "contact member" function and let me know what your screen name is. Shipping to the UK is actually much easier with regard to Customs duties, textiles, etc. Good luck!
