Re: Vintage Zippers
It's missing ALOT but here's one:

It's fine that they don't have the more obscure 30s-50s brands (royal, swift, etc) but they really should have crown zippers and more lighting and talon variations as the shapes are sometimes helpful in dating.

Re: Vintage Zippers
Out of curiosity, are you researching a specific piece or just looking to update your reference book?

Re: Vintage Zippers
I think that thanks to trademark searches and patent dates zippers are one of the earier things to date.
I'd be interested to see if there's a site out there that details buttons over the years in terms of size, material (bakelite, etc), design (13 star, "eye slit") etc.

Re: Vintage Zippers
That is a great resource! I've never even thought of dating a piece of clothing by the zipper design.
