Finally, some nice stuff came, which I forced myself to resist, but I found two things that I had to have. I want to check their bona fides though.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were selling each of these Fenton Pieces separately, but I saw somewhere that they were called a 1940s Vanity set. I already have a blue melon vase that I posted on the Finds Thread. What I wanted to know is if the 1940s time seems right. Also, any other comments would be appreciated. I was thrilled it is a perfect set, no damage and no substitutions. Amazing after 70 years if the date is right. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]426780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426784[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second this is this swan.
