<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 203351, member: 44&quot;]I believe I just dated the above purses to no earlier that 1931. Just now after posting the above query, I did a quick search for a Wi Co. zipper company. It seems the WiCo was founded in 1931 by an Erich Wittenberg and Herman Duchrow &quot;as a two-man company which produce zip fasteners ... marked WICO zippers are manufactured only until 1945.&quot; I know my mother or most everyone else wasn&#039;t buying ornate evening purses during WWII. Also from 1931 to c1936 with the country in the deep depression, and she struggling to pay for her college education, she didn&#039;t buy the purses during those years. I suspect she bought them or got them sometime around her wedding 1937 to 1941.</p><p><a href="http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431098" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431098" rel="nofollow">http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431098</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
