[h-cost] Kimonos, etc.
A friend of mine had to move and is getting rid of all sorts of things. One is an old suitcase filled with kimonos, sashes, etc. (I know nothing about Japanese clothing) She says they were brought over from Japan right after WWII. She wants to sell them on e-bay, but has no idea how much to ask. Anyone know anything about this? Or where we can look?

Re: [h-cost] Kimonos, etc.
I would suggest contacting a museum first as they are the real deal so to speak...

Re: [h-cost] Kimonos, etc.
A museum curator might be able to tell her what she has, but she won't appraise or value the items. It's against the rules for museums to do that.

Re: [h-cost] Kimonos, etc.
For cultural value, a museum is the place to go. For market value, a commercial auction house. That's the reality of the world. Any documentation, transport notes, old receipts and the like may be of use, -C. kimonos, sashes, etc. (I know nothing about Japanese clothing) She says they were brought over from Japan right after WWII.

Re: [h-cost] Kimonos, etc.
No, I meant if she donated them _to_ that museum- they'd have to be valued at something for the contribution/tax stuff. -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of e...@huskers.unl.edu Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 6:11 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] Kimonos, etc. *Especially* in that context, they can't give appraisals.
