Heyy Ladies! Dug 105 year old powder case with make-up + silvers

[Scrappy]

I went to a spot I've been hitting this week. Got a couple of silver quarters and an 1882 Indian. But this is the find of the day!!

I guy a quarter signal and out popped a makeup case. I took it home, worked it open and got the hinge loose. Burnished the case and waxed it for shine. Says patent date 1910. One of my favorite finds lately!



Enjoy, because my wife thinks it's disgusting.

Nice silver and the compact is cool, I found an old copper lipstick tube with lipstick still inside, maybe they go together?

Lol. It was nothing really I really took my time working the case open hoping it was filled with diamonds. The hinge is the tough thing...

Haha thx. I wouldn't be surprised if there were lipstick close by- a lady must always look her best! Lol

I rubber some off on my finger and it won't come off now[emoji41] Now the condom tin has never happened to me...

You do have a way with words Steve.

Wow! Awesome finds!

 

[M_d_in_guy]

Cool find! How come my make up tins are always empty? Lol

A few years ago I found a "three Merry Widows" condom tin. I opened it....the "device" was still inside!

yeah if you don't mind using an innertube lol.

Now if I had found a condom tin, makeup, lipstick, and a mens belt buckle I may have had a story! Lol

I can identify. Who would ever have known that I would get excited about a cosmetics tin or old lipstick container, and my wife, whom I love, thinks it's just this side of junk!
"That's nice Dear."
Well. I think that's a very cool find. WTG!

Makes you wonder about the makeup though, that it lasted this long in the ground. lol

I get the same treatment from my wife. I show her a 1794 liberty cap cent and she says it just looks like a grungy disk[emoji35] as for the makeup, I think Mercury preserves cosmetics very well

You are a silver magnet! That makeup case is really cool. I have found only one that still worked. Well done. Best od luck to you!

Awesome finds! That's a nice old goodie! From the days when powder came in a compact instead of a spray can. If there were any germs they are probably long gone!
