Vintage American Zippers

After Many Years Of Picking Vintage Clothing For A Living, I Have Fallen In Love With The Beauty Of This 160 Year Old Patented Idea To Fasten Fabric Together With A Metal Closure. Vintage Zippers Are Fascinating Mechanically And Also Give Clues To A Garments Age & Quality Of Construction. Some Of My Favorites Include: Conmar, Talon, Talon 42, Serval, Scovill, Robin, Gripper Zipper, Prentice, Conmatic, Crown & Ideal. My Least Favorite Is The Dreaded YKK.
