I found a pile of interesting clothes but for me this one is the treasure of the day ...needs a bit of a clean but I've done some quick research and I think its early 1900s Sad Iron by Enterprise USA ...complete with trivet Bonus points for anyone who knows why it was called a Sad iron ... ? Anyway it was a whole $8 at the Salvation Army ๐Ÿฅณ

โœจ Thrift Spotlight: Vintage Mesh Purses (Oroton, Glomesh & more!)
Found this beautiful Oroton gold mesh coin purse the other day for $6 and had to share โœจMesh accessories have been around for decades, and many countries have their own iconic brands. Hereโ€™s a fun bit of history I learned: ๐Ÿ’ก Oroton - Began in the 1930s - Known for high-quality metal mesh bags - Hugely popular in Australia & New Zealand through the 70sโ€“90s - Stylish, shiny, and super trendy at the time ๐Ÿ’ก Glomesh - Started in 1958 in Sydney - Also famous for metal mesh purses, clutches, and wallets - Their mesh pieces were everywhere in the 60sโ€“80s - Often mixed up with similar brands worldwide And of course, other countries had their own mesh legends like Whiting & Davis (USA), which dates back to the 1800s and is still collected today. Mesh designs were a big deal globally โ€” elegant, durable, and instantly eye-catching. Have you ever thrifted a mesh bag where you live? Or do you remember these from your country? If you have one (any brand!), feel free to share a pic โ€” an Oroton Wallet was the thing to have in the 80's here in New Zealand ...I remember really wanting one ...how about you? โœจ
