A characterful vintage Art Deco-style travel vanity case in textured green, containing five matching glass cosmetic containers with pastel green screw caps. A lovely decorative collector’s piece with period paper keepsakes tucked inside.
Condition: Visible age-related wear to the exterior, corners and handle, with marking, discolouration and areas of deterioration to the interior lining. A key is included, but the lock has not been tested due to concern about damaging the mechanism. Its working condition cannot be guaranteed. Please examine the photographs carefully for the condition of the case and its contents.
Includes: Three glass jars and two rectangular glass bottles with matching green caps, plus a key to the case.
Case details: Carry handle, metal clasp, fitted compartments and a mirror inside the lid.
Handwritten labels: Bottles labelled “Cleansing Milk” and “Body Lotion”.
Paper keepsakes: A typed card reading “Fancy Dress Dance, Best Dressed Lady, Xmas 1938” and a vintage C&A tag bearing the handwritten name “Peggy”.
Glass markings: Reported stylised “W” marking and “M 11” code. Manufacturer and cap material have not been authenticated.
Dating: Believed to be circa 1930s; the accompanying card is dated 1938, but the exact age and ownership history of the set are unconfirmed.
The enclosed keepsakes add a fascinating personal touch, although it cannot be confirmed that this case was the dance prize or belonged to Peggy.
Offered as a vintage collectable or display piece. Keep dry and handle gently to preserve the case and paper items. Do not force the key or lock.
