The metal is gold-tone antiqued which leads some people to believe these caskets were made pre-1930; however, most of this style was made from 1940 to around the 1970s.

$48 USD SaleSALE Pink Satin Elephant Depression Glass Powder Jar
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Depression Glass:Powder Jar
Presenting this lovely powder jar featuring an elephant with trunk down. We believe the lid and bottom are a marriage, but we cannot find out what powder jar the lid actually belongs with (from the Bedroom & Bathroom book) so we will sell the two as a marriage & let the buyer decide what to do about them. The bottom has straight sides (which is what is throwing us off) and the lid seems shallower than the ones pictured in the B&B book. The lid is in excellent shape; the inside of the bottom has ...

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Enameled Compact:Basse-taille
We have a wonderful candidate for a repair in this visually pleasing compact. There is enamel chipping on the front near the hinge, and in four spots on the back. The hinge has been repaired badly and this causes the lid to be hard to snap shut. There is a burned spot on the enameled lid. Inside, the mirror is scratched but intact.

$24 USD SaleSALE Tiny Yellow Lady Dresser Dish Ring Holder
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Porcelain Pin Dish
Well, maybe not ring holder, but one will fit over her head! This very different decorative figural half-doll type dish is done up in yellow with a pink flower on her bodice. Her expression is such that we wonder if she has smelled something foul, though. She measures 4" by 2 3/4" and is technically porcelain, as we can see light and shadow through the hole. We find no chips or cracks. There are some darker spots on her 'lap', that look like they were part of the manufacturing/glazing process. ...
$30 USD SaleSALE Delicate Pink Porcelain Dresser Doll with Book
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Dresser Dolls:Porcelain

Unmarked, she hs one hand to her bodice and the other is resting on her skirt, holding a book. This doll is not nearly as well-formed as the green one, but she is still beautiful. The lid is a tad too small for the base and doesn't cover it all the way. We find no damage to her and the interior is ...

$96 USD SaleSALE Elizabeth Arden Memoire Cherie Porcelain Dresser Set
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Elizabeth Arden Memoire Cherie
We do not use the word "rare" often. In this case we believe it applies, in spades! How we wish the powder box was still full, but alas, no.
