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.

The Lost Knowledge & History In Antique Garbage & Treasure
Little By Little. Small Fragments Of Miniature Antique Garbage And Treasure Started Making Its Way Into My Life As A Zen Psychedelic Art Collector.
It Seems As Though While The Fighting For The Big Prize Was Going on, Worthless/Priceless Little Pieces Started Speaking To Me. They Tell A Story Of American Families, Lost Ways Of Living, Time, Mystery, Love, Adventure, Religion, Humor, Magic Intent, Life & Death.
Similar To The Reading Of Chicken Bones In The Voodoo Religion , I Read The Future In A Puzzle Of Found Antique Miniature American Garbage.
