I was just handed a vintage tea towel that my Auntie bought there in the 1950's... She bought 5... Go figure... They are unused, mint condition, still in the plastic bag. Made in Australia... (Not China!)...

Does anyone know whether something like this is worth $5, or $100+ ??? !!

I can see some stuff from the 70's and 80's on eBay, and that stuff is worth about $5-$10, top...

IThe price will depend on the pattern.
There seems to be an increasing market for red and white checked pattern which some people use as head wear.

I'm sure a vintage towel would have to carry some premium, specially if you say it worn by some martyr.
