Hello.
Please, your opinion is needed about this child size armband
Believe is a good one but because is homemade a second opinion is required.
Thanks all,as allways every opinion is welcome.

Did you check it under UV light? So hard to tell with this one.

**johanis1860** · 06-03-2021, 04:14 PM

I don't know, I don't have it in my hand.
I like it, fabric and construction looks ok, but as always with those out of norm,a question mark remains.

I made myself one like that in the 1980’s. I don’t know how you could authenticate such an item of unknown provenance. It could be genuine but you might never know for sure.

If it has ever been washed using modern detergents, it will glow..

Exactly.

A leap of faith without provenance.

Well if it will glow under UV light you will probably never able to (re)sell it in the future. Thinking you own the real thing and the wider community are two different things. When in doubt I would stay away.

What are the measurements? Why do you think its original? Not trying to be difficult but surely this piece is almost 100 percent impossible to authenticate with these images alone? Appears poorly made even for the suggested origin? But I may have lots to learn here! Cheers.

Correct, you always to have in the back of the head, the possible resale, in the case it is important, unfortunately,what the majority thinks is good,especially the opinions of the forums.
But, so that you don't lose your collecting fun, you have to take smaller risks from time to time,for things that you like personally.

I only have these pictures,therefore I asked for a second opinion.
I don't know the measurement.
I know,the fact is,with homemade thinks, you can't be 100% sure
IMO, the fabric looks simiral, like the originals that I compared.
The make-constration can be from a housewife-mother.
