$32 USD SaleSALE Five Piece Nile Green Pearl DuPont Pyralin Dresser Set
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Pyralin:Dupont:Dresser Set:Pearl On Amber
Pyralin by DuPont showed that even plastic could have an attractive, sophisticated look. Pryalin was produced by DuPont as early as 1939. Boxed sets soon became gift must-haves and there was a wide variety to choose from. This five piece set would have been part of a larger boxed set. These are the pieces that have survived some 70+ years. The color is described in Ettinger's Antique Dresser Sets as pastel green pearl on amber.

$8 USDSimplicity Pattern #5953 Sleeveless A-Line 1965 Uncut
Collectibles:Sewing:Pattern:Simplicity:A-line Dress:1965:Size 14:Uncut
I bet Jackie O had a dress just like the ones featured in this vintage Simplicity pattern #5953 from 1965. The chic A-line is sophisticated --in fact, I can see Michelle O sporting this style also. The round neckline plays complement to the sleeveless look. Picot or lace insert trim adds individuality. This is a size 14, bust 34 and remains uncut. The name Mrs. Nelson (not Jackie or Michelle) is written on the front of the envelope.

$9 USD SaleSALE Trunk Style Ivory Tone Plastic Jewelry or Odds 'n Ends Box
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Ivory Tone:Trunk Style:Jewelry Box:Odds 'n Ends Box:Plastic
This vintage plastic in ivory tone box does such a good job replicating a trunk that I thought it was worth listing. The details include strap and clasp lock and simulated ridged sides. Although it is empty inside, I am wondering if it once held a watch or some other jewelry. It would work perfectly as a closed odds 'n ends box, too. It is 4 1/2" long and 3" wide and 1 3/4" deep.
