Are teardrop pulls earlier than ring pulls, or the other way round?The teardrop pulls indicate 60s to me.
I think simple ring pulls were first, then chevrons, then teardrops. Roughly 40s, 50s, 60s, respectively. Maybe @tmitchell59 can chime in.Are teardrop pulls earlier than ring pulls, or the other way round?

The Talon tear drops are c.1960 as far as I can determine. They go on in the 60s, maybe early 70s. There are also non branded imitations.I think simple ring pulls were first, then chevrons, then teardrops. Roughly 40s, 50s, 60s, respectively. Maybe @tmitchell59 can chime in.
Most ring pulls are impossible to date, they were used in the earliest days of the zipper. There are a couple of distinct ring pulls, but most are generic as far as I can determine.View attachment 520494 So maybe 50's for these?
They went into the 80’s with Vanson and Bates m/c gear. Brooks too.The Talon tear drops are c.1960 as far as I can determine. They go on in the 60s, maybe early 70s. There are also non branded imitations.
