Antique Ireland Cosmetic Box with Breath Perfume Envelope EJ Hoadley Hartford Ct
Antique cosmetic box in vibrant multi color with gold tin lace around the border
End tab of the box notes "All Linen Made in Ireland 1/4 Doz F" (not sure what that all means)
Inside the box was the breath perfume envelope, marked:
BREATH PERFUME
Sweet Scent
ONE CENT
PERFUMES THE BREATH
E. J. HOADLEY
HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.
The underside of the envelope is marked: "SWEET SCENT AROMATIC ONE CENT FRAGRANT"
These two items were purchased together as you see them; I cannot say if the envelope was originally inside the box or placed there at a later date
Very nice condition considering age and use (envelope is empty) - but presentation is amazingly nostalgic
Approximate measurements (may vary slightly):
Box is 5 3/4" x 2 7/8" x 1/2" (closed)Please look closely at the pictures; they are part of the description. We are describing what we see but you are the expert. If described as VINTAGE or ANTIQUE, it should never be expected to look like new. Color or image quality displayed on your device may not be exactly as the item appears in person, since each device has different display settings.
SHIPPING - Please Read: Our items are typically shipped UPS with prices fixed by the carrier. We have added the USPS option in the case of shipping to a P.O. Box. The selling platform retains a percentage of our shipping fees so not all of what you pay actually comes to us. Shipping charges outside the U.S. are not set by us since we use ONLY the eBay International Shipping Program and are not able to invoice you or offer shipping discounts.
Please consider that you are easily able to browse our listings to purchase items that cost us time (hours at auctions and "clean-up" time) and money (travel, shipping supplies, etc.) to present to you. Please contact us with any serious concerns before posting low feedback or star ratings. We will do our best to respond promptly.
