Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

[Susan Higginbotham]

One thing that is conspicuously absent from the dag's website is a photograph of its case. Is the dag in a full case? A half case? No case at all? A case can help to date a dag, as can its mat and preserver:

Likewise, someone well versed in fashion history could probably tell you a great deal about the date of that photograph from the lady's clothing, particularly her elaborate collar and her hairstyle.

In short, there are a number of ways to get a better idea of when this photograph was taken. Have you consulted a dealer in antique photographs? If not, why?
