note: I am an appreciator of many things vintage. I love their beauty, lasting quality. I also love the fact that reusing these timeless lovelies has a very positive impact on our environment. But I am not an appraiser or antiquities expert. I try to carefully represent and research these items but despite my efforts, I cannot guarantee that the information that I have gathered is correct.
