Marjorie Montgomery was born in Sikeston, Missouri, on 27 May 1912. A s a young girl she was in a group of traveling vaudeville players n Los Angeles, California. In 1925 Marjorie entered the Mary Pickford silhouette contest which selected a lookalike of America's sweetheart. This led to a brief career in movies. However, she is best known as a fashion designer, being one of the elite group of California designers of the 1920s-1960s. She started in 1926, designing pretty and stylish dresses from cotton. In the beginning she knew so little about the manufacturing business that she bought her fabrics and notions at retail. Her most famous line is a series of dresses with hand painted and felt applique pieces. These featured various floral designs along with novelty subjects. and are much sought after by avid collectors. Montgomery designed through the 1960s.

 

Condition 

This gorgeous and sought-after dress is in excellent condition for its age.  No notable flaws that I can see. Please note that one of the flowers is has only one layer of petals. However the central pearl is also much smaller, so I assume it is meant to be a bud unfurling. Cleaned and ready to wear. Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.

The right tool for the job.
Size: One Size, Style: Bottle Opener, Size: One Size, Style: Bottle Opener
This is the tool you want. It is exceptionally functional, well made (made in the USA, if that matters to you), and beautiful in the way that quality tools are. The thing that really sets this tool apart is that it correctly balances form vs. function: a heavy duty build (as is the point when buying a bottle opener built by a tool company) without its use as a bottle opener (as is the point when buying ANY bottle opener) being negatively impacted by said build. I also bought the Craftsman bottle cap wrench, which, in my opinion, is hugely successful as feeling like a heavy duty tool and something of a failure as a bottle opener. It's so large and heavy, it has equal mass to the bottle you're opening. Imagine your buddy who has had one too many wielding a 12 oz. steel wrench over your tile floor, countertop, toes, etc. and you'll get the idea. Lastly, the engraving and materials on this Klein tool are so attractive I had to build it a custom wall mount instead of hiding it away in a drawer or tool chest. I will be buying a second for the office.

Good Tool
Size: One Size, Style: Bottle Opener
This thing is great at opening bottles, and it has a Klein handle. Perfect for the electrician in your life, even if that's yourself. I had to knock off a star because the handle is not quite as good as other Klein tools. The plastic is not as clear. The TIP-IDENT bottlecap marking is off-center and not fully printed. The bottle opener sticks out at a slight angle. This does not affect the performance, but it does detract from the novelty somewhat.

expands work space effectively
Initially it was a bit challenging to set up as I was not fortunate enough to have assistance (the instructions tell you that you need two people for part of the installation process). I also had to play around with placement a bit as my available installation space was extremely limited and neither of the listed/'suggested mounting situations worked for me; however, with some head-scratching and debating with myself, I finally figured how to make it work how and where I needed it it, and all was good!! It functions well, and holds adequate weight, and looks really good with the light lacquer finish...the only thing I will say to a potential buyer is to make sure you have room to walk past it easily when its closed down because it still sticks out a few inches even when closed down...overall, very happy with this item and would purchase again.
