✅ SOLVED Can You Identify this Lipstick?

In a copper (?) tube. I can't read the brand, but it's there. Looks like "Palace" or "Valaze". There are two women's busts (?) (20's flappers, romans?) facing each other in a circle. Color stamped on bottom is "Red Cardinal". 1-3/4" long.

I think this is a Coty lipstick case it could be from the 20's like you said the company was founded in 1910 Paris France and is still in business today red cardinal #55 was one of their best selling colors

Thanks for the info Joseph. The lettering is just barely visible in the top third of the circle above the 2 busts. It's in a semi-circular area. I don't think it says "COTY" though. I was hoping someone had seen this logo before.

Are old lipstick tubes collectible? I have an old brass tube in my brass bin at home.

Coty lipstick cases usually don't say Coty on their makers mark

Thanks brother for the great ID! This must be an early one as the tube seems to preceed the ones in the newspaper ad. Any idea what year that paper is from? I'll see if I can find more info with Google! Thanks again!

What does that have to do with my question?

I can't seem to find a match for this tube on-line, it seems Ms. Rubinstein began marketing the "Valaze" line of products soon after the turn of the 20th century. I found the following two pictures on-line, both with the two busts facing each other motif. I am convinced that the images on my lipstick tube are two flappers ca 1920s facing one another. Thanks again to Taz for the ID!
