This is a historically significant zipper, as it definitively reflects this major brand's acquisition and its transition:
Scovill bought Conmar Products, Corp. Preponderance of online details seem to identify June 16, 1965 as the actual date when the acquisition occurred. Unknown exactly how long it took for inventory to turn over completely to the Scovill branding. In the late 1990s, IDEAL Fastener Corporation acquired the CONMAR Brand, currently "producing historic and vintage zippers"(That is absolutely-not what we are selling here).
Zipper may be shortened to exact length - by most any reasonably experienced alteration shop tailor. Currently, a selections of lengths (Inches; measured from just Above the metal Top Stop - to just Below the bottom metal - end of the Insertion Box.) are available for further convenience.
MUSEUM QUALITY - ORIGINAL CONDITION: For COLLECTING, GARMENT RESTORATION TO HAVE ERA APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT, and or CUSTOM GARMENT MAKING/ALTERATION - PURPOSES.
