...and in other research news - new adverts have been added to several items on site recently, including the four linked above.. the Eisenberg fish has other important pieces in its Nov 1943 advert - the Trifari Philippe Feathers, worn by Ava Gardner, are helpfully dated by the brevity of her (1941-42) marriage to Mickey Rooney - Mazer earrings, now known to be from an expensive 1950 set - and thanks to Zara Thomas for pointing out a 1950 Vogue advert, for the Boucher peacock feather choker necklace (all such tips always gratefully received)...
