January 27, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Just got back from a garage sale with a sweet little treasure, looked it up on the ‘net, and found a resource

all consignment, resale, and thrift shopkeepers should bookmark

for future reference: A vintage fashion labels list: photos of the actual labels, short paragraphs of info to help you research further…

The Vintage Fashion Guild’s Label Resource 

Even if you don’t really deal in vintage, it comes in handy sometimes, so you don’t miss what could be a treasure for your shop and your shoppers.

Oh, my little treasure? A Carolyn Schnurer NWT hand-rolled linen handkerchief, never even unfolded from the 1940’s-1950’s. Coral geometric pattern, rather Moorish-tile-like. Paid 25 cents; on Etsy etc for $10-$20. Also has a “Carol Stanley Signature Original as seen in Vogue” sticker on it… can’t quite figure out Carol’s role (retailer? Manufacturer?)… if anyone knows, comment here!
