Thank you for sharing! I saved those images for future reference, as I have never seen a vintage squash blossom with the original tag on it. There’s a lot to be learned from that small sticker in terms of how they were marketed.

That’s very interesting. So your opinion, and I do mean just your opinion, is this piece could be more unique than one without.
I should consider it a more sought out item because no one else has a tag like this one or none that you’ve in encountered?
I should focus on getting in touch with this store so I can date it because it may be older than I originally thought?
I do appreciate you letting me pick your brain. I know your not giving me this info for anything in return and your time is as valuable as mine so I’m not sure how but I always show my gratitude in some way.
I actually have a picture that hangs in my house that says:
“GRATITUDE CHANGES EVERYTHING”
Thank you for all of this info. I’ll be keeping you informed as this outcome will be knowledge in the future for all of us.

@Goblet it seems you may be drawing some unwarranted conclusions from the feedback here. First, “unique”: it’s hard for newcomers to comprehend the volume of similar items produced in the boom decades (many many thousands), of which a ton are currently on the secondary market.
The tag is neat and uncommon to find but would net approximately zero dollars more than the interest in the necklace itself.
Studying up on recent sales will be informative (as in looking at auction results and Sold items on eBay). In short it all comes down to quality and the right person wanting your piece.

My perspective is different on this just because I’m a graphic designer who once had a business selling recreations of vintage labels to museums and re-enactors, so I find personal value in that kind of ephemera because you rarely see it (why would anyone keep a trashy label on a nice piece of vintage jewelry?). If you find a collector who is into that it might add to the value a little, but to the average person it won’t matter. But that’s always the way such things go.
I appreciate the information on the stuff to I can study to gain more knowledge about this. I am a newcomer but
I appreciate the information on things I can study up on to better understand that there is a lot more involved in things that you may think. However I do understand what unique means and it seems to me that it has always brought more money and or personal value to something because you said it yourself there are thousands of “similar” items produced during that time. None has started that they have one, seen one, or knew that that was how they were authenticated. Do you have one? I think all this makes it pretty unique. We wouldn’t have all been discussing this necklace too the extent of or the 4 or 5 other people. I would also like to say that I’m not looking to get rid of this particular one. I want it.
