well, in my case in the end cost me nothing!!, not because she sent me the item for free but because she thought it would be better to cancel the transaction.SayCici said:Oh I totally understand that if you're mailing something overseas and want an expedited travel time, it will cost more, and I can understand why the seller would want to insure that the item got there, but I think the OP was under the impression that they were going to send it First Class/at the cheapest rate. I know when I'm giving an estimate for someone overseas, I give them the cheapest option and the Priority one.
It's weird/unfortunate to want to go buy something and the shipping cost is higher than the price of what you're buying.

Paul said:This is my latest vintage purchase, a very cute vinyl case with a pair of seamed ff nylons in it.
My question is why have a case
Could it be a free gift to promote the brand etc etc,
or was the cases intended to be sold as a small present making it more PC for a person to give a lady,
did ladies buy a case to store her stocking in maybe to go in a suit case on a trip..
I know the company made stocking between 1946 and 1966 so that the time line!
I love to know your thoughts on this case
Thanks Paul.

Actual street wear! I love this dress, not sure why but I do. Color me happy!
And this was a novel idea to keep your clothes neat while setting your hair or applying your makeup...looks like somebody crafted it from linen towels and embroidered a comb and brush on it. Not bad for 99 cents and shipping.
This one was a bit of an impulse as I'm not 100% on the size but I figured I'd go for it since I'm into brown for the fall.
Inky said:And a good day here - sent the hubby out to look for some hat boxes at the local shops and while he came home without any boxes - he did buy me this beautiful Coro bracelet, knowing nothing about Coro but just liking how it looked and that it was in virtually unworn condition. He has a good eye for the shiny
This bracelet is silver-tone, with 12 beautiful gray vitrail stones, all in perfect condition. No wear showing on the bracelet or clasp. Pegasus Coro mark with © symbol indicates it 1955 or later. Likely a late 50's/early 60's piece judging from the style. (some info on Coro marks for you here)
I love it more because he picked it out

AN old sewing box chock full of notions. I for some reason want to start a collection of vintage seam gauges. Perhaps I wont...
