<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4405014, member: 33"]Since the pieces appear to be period, I'll guess that this is a replacement zipper added around the time that plastic zippers made their appearance. I don't remember ever seeing a plastic zipper with a metal pull. I think the pull is called a "tongue" -- that word just popped in from childhood memories of talking to my mother, a longtime seamstress. Are you sure the teeth are plastic?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
