HISTORICAL ANALYSIS:
 The style of Talon's separating insertion box located at this zippers bottom, seems to have begun circulation around the late 1950s. This particular zipper model from Talon has a pull-tab and slider head that was more likely present on jackets manufactured beyond that era, perhaps through the 1970s and still seen on garments sold in retail stores through the 1980s. Herringbone Twill-Tapes of Cotton are present, further indicative of an era up through the 1970s to possibly the early 1980s at most. Therefore, it appears that this zipper may have been assembled in the 1970s.
