CIRCA 1860-80 TRULY FABULOUS PIQUÉ and TORTOISE CASE

The original purpose of the case is unknown.   Some have thought it to be a cigar case.    It's a beauty, though.  The front and the back are natural tortoise shell.   The front is completely covered in piqué  work.   The tiny polka dots covering the front and back are tiny gold color nail heads,  The figure eight design is piqué work in mother of pearl shell, two rows flanking a row of gold color ribbon.  More gold color piqué in a row and another solid ribbon frame the figure eight design.   The center is floral piqué work in gold tone and mother of pearl around a shield with initials.   Over 4000 piqué dots in the background and who knows how many make the design.   One "solid ribbon" is missing at the top of the bottom design.   

5 5/8 inches x 3 wide.   The depth is 1 1/4 inches, though it can be thicker as all four sides of the front and the back has a leather expandable accordion. Blue silk interior, both pockets are expandable at the top  The double pocket has some fraying of fabric on the left side of the side. 

All gold tone metal is presumed to be brass, or gold plated brass.   Antique tortoise case, circa 1860-8.  The clasp is tight.    Estimated replacement value $800-$1000.

HAND BLOWN ART GLASS PERFUME BOTTLE

Quite an old one, the bottle has the same shape on both side and is just over a half inch thick.  The design is in primary yellow, blue and orange with glittery "gold" stripes on a cream background.   The stopper is gold color glass and fit tightly in the neck of the bottle, making the total height  2 1/2 inches.  The bottle has a brass neck and you can see its age as what was probably original plated is now a brassy color.   Vintage, probably made in Italy sometime before 1950.

BLACK GLOVES, SMALL

Fabric gloves from 1960, very plain ~ they are light weight, have a very slightly wrinkle  which makes them look like black leather.   No tag or size within.   I wear a medium glove and these are small for me.   They appear to have been never worn.    Vintage clothing, gloves in excellent condition, 15 inches long, 3 inches across the knuckles..

OLD IVORY BOX, ART DECO or VICTORIAN

Absolutely lovely, vintage (guaranteed) ivory Box.   Both top and bottom are ivory and it seems to be applied to a leather or leatherette, which is accordioned on the sides for slight expansion.  There is a little wear on one edge & corner of the "accordion" for about 1 1/4 inches and the material which the leather covers is seen to be something similar to grosgrain fabric.  The metal frame is brass.  The interior is watered blue silk and someone has cut the center of the top layer of silk in both sections, apparently to accommodate something.   It is my opinion that the box is older than "Art Deco" and that the Sterling Deco decoration was added at a later time, probably to cover whatever was originally there.  Antique box.

PERFUME SPRAYER BROOCH

Pump bug sprayers were popular in households during the 40s and 50s and were used to spray an array of pest, including flies, with 'goodness knows what' chemicals.  Perhaps it was inevitable that they were made in miniature and used for spraying perfume.  This brooch is a working sprayer attached to the mother pin on a retractable metal chain, allowing it to be pulled away & used to spray ear lobes and wrists.  Vintage costume jewelry, brass, sprayer measures 2 1/2 in., excellent condition.
