[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 340549, member: 136"]Here's another of today's “finds” - found right here in my own house! Like many other things, this little cutie has been packed away for ages. (Please excuse my night-time photos; if I hadn't taken them tonight, it would undoubtedly be forever again before I got back to this.) [ATTACH=full]114522[/ATTACH] This is a soft leather case, about 4 5/8” x 2 5/8” when closed, with a pearly snap closure. The case opens up flat to about 7 7/8”. Inside is a 3/4” wide leather strap, sewn down the middle to hold a 4 1/2” comb and a 4 1/2” handle-less brush. [ATTACH=full]114523[/ATTACH] The tops of the comb and brush are silver, marked only [B]935[/B], with no maker's marks. There is undamaged guilloche enamel along both sides of the comb and along the top of the brush. (My flash may make it look as if some enamel is missing. It is not.) [ATTACH=full]114524[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114525[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114526[/ATTACH] Also inside is a 2 1/4” x 4” mirror, with an ingenious leather tab and leather holder that allows the mirror to stand up. Here are 2 views, including my attempt to show how the mirror stands up: [ATTACH=full]114528[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114527[/ATTACH] I'm assuming that this is European, possibly Scandinavian. I'm curious about the age of this set and would also appreciate any other information or thoughts that anyone here might have about it. Thanks so much! -C-[/QUOTE]
