SALE "Cassandra" by Weil Vanity Commercial Perfume Bottle Circa 1936

$135 USD SaleSALE "Cassandra" by Weil Vanity Commercial Perfume Bottle Circa 1936

Collectibles:Bottles:Commercial Perfume Bottles
This perfume bottle was made by Weil in 1936. It is shaped like a Ionic Column:. It is in the book, "Commercial Perfume Bottles" by Jacquelyn Jones-North. In the book it says "Hand cut crystal with gold letter by Baccarat. Even though it is high quality glass, there is no Baccarat mark on this. The label is missing, however the bottle itself is in perfect shape. It's a pretty commercial perfume bottle standing at about 3 3/4" tall and 1 3/4 wide at the base of the bottle. This is a hard one to ...

The inside is in very good condition with a place for the powder, rouge, with the puffs and also for two coin slots. There is a place for a lipstick but it is missing. The mirror is in good shape.

SALE French White Opaline Patch Box with Hand-Painted flowers

$95 USD SaleSALE French White Opaline Patch Box with Hand-Painted flowers

Glass:Opaline:Patch Box
This little French Opaline Patch box is in very good shape with no cracks or chips, however, I think part of the front latch is missing as it does not shut all the way and feels rough on the tip of the brass. Still pretty though with wonderful painted enamel on top of the white Opaline. I took all into consideration on the price. It is 2 1/4" wide. Pretty and sweet. Free Shipping within the US.
SALE Old Hand Carved Wood Box with Leaves on Top

$15 USD SaleSALE Old Hand Carved Wood Box with Leaves on Top

Collectibles:Boxes
A nicely carved box with leaves on the top. It is old and the hinges are a little rusted. Perhaps it was used for an old cigarette box, but is longer than old cigarettes. It is not marked in any way. It is 6 1/4" wide by 4 1/4" deep and 3 1/2" tall. It is quite attractive. There is a little wear on the bottom. The carving on the top is quite nice! Thanks for dropping in!

This is a jeweled lipstick holder by Florenza and is marked as such. 1950's. It is 4" by 2 1/2" and holds four lipsticks. It is in great shape but has one pink jewel missing.

SALE Forvil Vintage Commercial Perfume Bottle "5 Fleurs" in Box and Smells GREAT!

$55 USD SaleSALE Forvil Vintage Commercial Perfume Bottle "5 Fleurs" in Box and Smells GREAT!

Collectibles:Bottles:Commercial Perfume Bottles
This perfume was first trademarked in 1926. I'm not sure of the date of this particular bottle but it has fantastic style, and curves. A large glass, commercial perfume bottle holding 3.8 OZ. of wonderful, sweet smelling perfume. Very flowery hence the name "5 Fleurs" or five flowers. . The box has had a label pealed away off of one side but the other side is perfect. Nothing really fancy to the box. I would guesstimate this is from 1940's. It is marked "Made in France." I would think this is a ...
SALE Old Glass Beaded Purse in Christmas Box for Salvage of BEADS!

$18 USD SaleSALE Old Glass Beaded Purse in Christmas Box for Salvage of BEADS!

Clothing:Purses
From 1910-1920 is this old glass beaded bag that I am selling for the beads and frame. It is in obvious poor condition, but the frame is salvageable as well as the glass beads. There is a green velvet liner under the beads that has some stains. The chain is rusted, but may be salvageable. Don't know about the chain. The frame has some patina on one side, but I think it can be cleaned up and used. The box is in okay shape but is the original box for the purse. The graphics are nice on it though! ...
SALE French Antique Vanity Box for Jewelry, Ring or Watch Box w/ Beveled Mirror

$210 USD SaleSALE French Antique Vanity Box for Jewelry, Ring or Watch Box w/ Beveled Mirror

Antiques:French Boxes
A wonder small French jewelry box made of gold filigree and a beveled mirror. The French box is standing on four gold metal legs and sits evenly. The glass atop of the box is thick and beveled and is in great shape. The mirror is somewhat spotted as you can see in the pictures. I took two of the pictures with a flash so you could see the spots.The inside has its original burgundy silk which has some wear with a slight tear, but nice to have the original fabric never-the-less. The beveled mirror ...
SALE Blue Crystal Vintage Czechoslovakian Perfume Bottle w/ Roses

$85 USD SaleSALE Blue Crystal Vintage Czechoslovakian Perfume Bottle w/ Roses

Collectibles:Bottles:Perfume Bottles
With beautiful intaglio roses on the blue crystal stopper is this 1920-30's Czechoslovakian perfume bottle. You can get a grip on the bottle with a half turn but I can't guarantee its not a marriage as the stopper sits one hair too low . Fits quite well but something tells me its a marriage...a very nice one if it is! The dauber is missing, but one could be added if you want perfection. This is acid etched on the bottom "Made in Czechoslovakia" and a few scratches on the bottom. Otherwise, both ...

$45 USD SaleSALE Boxed Mini Perfume Bottle 1933 "Breathless" by Charbert w/ Glass stopper!

Collectibles:Bottles:Mini Perfume Bottles
"Breathless", what a great name for a perfume bottle by Charbert. This is a small perfume bottle from 1933. This was brought out again in 1954 as a mister bottle. This one still has its original hanging label and the wire still remains around the neck. This smaller version of the perfume bottle is all glass, including the stopper.

SALE Great Fun Jeweled Half Box Commercial Perfume Bottle from 1950's

$39 USD SaleSALE Great Fun Jeweled Half Box Commercial Perfume Bottle from 1950's

Collectibles:Bottles:Commercial Perfume Bottles
With no zip code to the address this would most probably be from the 1950's when sparkles and gold was the rage. This is a great perfume bottle displayed on a gold stage from the bottom of the box. I'm not sure if it had a top to the box because it looks like it may have been sold this way as it is a terrific display for the glass, gold colored bottle. The top is a very hard plastic decorated with bright rhinestones. The maker is marked "Moderne". Some of the perfume is still in the bottle and ...
SALE Gold Color Metal and Cobalt Blue Enamel Italian Picture Frame

The back is a thick wood, layered like press board with a mahogany finish. It still has its glass front and it is an unusual shape through the middle. It is very striking.

SALE Porcelain Scent Bottle for Perfume or Smelling Salts

$69 USD SaleSALE Porcelain Scent Bottle for Perfume or Smelling Salts

Porcelain:Perfume Bottles
Most likely from the Turn of the Century is this thick porcelain scent bottle. I'm not sure if it was used for smelling salts or perfume. The hinge is a little loose and in the pictures you can see it has a hairline crack. I do not find a mark on the silver so I must assume it is not sterling. Still a lovely piece and has good integrity to it.

$25 USD SaleSALE 1918 Vintage Vanity Face Powder Box "Jonteel" by Liggett's FULL

SALE Precious Victorian Mother of Pearl Ring Box / Thimble Holder

I believe this would have been a thimble holder, or for whatever might have been treasured such as a ring or watch. It is made of a Mother of Pearl Oyster shell. You can see the rich color in the M of P shell. The base is a oyster shell too. The inside is coated with a felt-y fabric. Sweet. It stands close to 3" tall and the shells are all about 2 1/2" wide. The hinge is still securely attached.

In very good condition is this very old ceramic porcelain perfume bottle in the shape of a penguin. Made by De Vilbiss for Lenox and marked so on the bottom. "Happy Feet" is precious. His back side or black side, is made of a thick felt. The "poofer" or atomizer is in the back, underneath the felt. The mist of perfume comes out of his beak.

$29 USD SaleSALE Candy Box for "Mother" w/ Baby by Maud Tousey Fangel

Collectibles:Candy Boxes
I don't buy much in commercial graphic arts, but I couldn't ignore this precious baby on the front of this old Candy box. It is simply darling! It brings a big ol' smile to my face. The baby is a print by Maud Tousey Fangel, famous for her portraits of babies, children and dogs, especially wire-haired terriers. She lived from 1881-1968 and was a noted artist in the first half of the 1900's. In very good shape for a box that is probably 80 years old! The box has a padded like top that feels like ...

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Powder Boxes
This is a French Powder box with a copper top on it. It comes with its original box which I had to open to look at the item. I have another one that has never been opened. You can take your pick.
