Dime-Store Jewels: 1941
December 1941. Washington, D.C. "Christmas shopping. Salesgirls at Woolworth's." Photo by John Collier, Office of War Information. View full size.
Good Values
Ah yes, the good old days, when a guy could satisfy all the females on his gift list for under $5. Woolworth's was the best.

$0.25 in December 1941 would be $3.94 in 2017 dollars.
The girl in the glasses is stunningly beautiful. The other is beautiful too.

Inflation
My wife currently sells earbobs of this vintage anywhere from $1-$40 a pair. Lots of these show up at estate sales.
