Questions & Comments

I think she's saying one is a calling card holder. For the elegant lady...or gentleman. They are beautiful but I'm already out before I even bid...lol. Gotta list more...

Calling cards were used to announce the lady or gentleman generally given to a servant to ask if the person should be shown in. Small like 2" X 1 1/2"

oh and I blocked the rude person too! That account needs to be suspended.

great thanks, I actually had a perdon on one of my items about a month ago start rambling off which LOTS of racial slurs that would definately offend someone. I REPORTED him/her and now they are gone. This person on the compacts I just blocked, she/he is more silly than offensive.

great auction some people were never taught if you do not have something nice to say keep it to yourself....lol...KARMA IS A FUNNY THING.......oh and one of my favs.... vengeance is mine says the lord.

Feb 20th, 2011 at 9:17:43 AM PST by

I know, we all have to start somewhere though...maybe this will be the start.

hey everybody, the one with the blue dot/stone is on ebay (one like this one rather) and you can find out about it from this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290343407463&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Here is some of what it says in case you're not comfortable clinking on links (me either).

a really cool vintage blusher compact from Tangee, in Red Red, probably from the 1950's. It is only 1.5" in diameter and goldtone, with a blue cabochon on the top. There is some wear and a few tiny stains on the metal, but these may be cleanable. I think it's just lovely! It is in nice vintage condition

Very nice auction. People who have nothing nice to say should not say anything at all. Thanks for listing this, :-)

thanks and you're welcome.

Feb 21st, 2011 at 4:48:09 PM PST by

Wow. Very nice. I like the "mother of pearl" looking one. Sweet.

Feb 21st, 2011 at 2:12:00 PM PST by

thanks, it does look like it but it's a very flexable kind of material. don't know what though. It's a double mirror wit ha stand.

Feb 21st, 2011 at 4:47:43 PM PST by

the Revlon one is heavy and it's the one next to the square one with the white looking spiderweb on it. it has a little dent in it and still has make-up in it (not meant for use).

Feb 21st, 2011 at 5:16:14 PM PST by

oh, forgot to tell you guys it's in the fourth picture.

Feb 21st, 2011 at 5:16:54 PM PST by

In that same picture (4th) the green one DOES have Mother Of Pearl on it and is signed "Alpaca Mexico" thanks to sleepyjns,lol because I couldn't figure it out since I can't see all the letters.
