This is a very old, large avon dusting powder tin from 1936. It still contains about half of its powder as well as the puff, which looks to be made of real sheep's wool. And it still smells pretty this tin measures 5 1/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. It is lined with cardboard. It is aged white with teal floral decorations around the base, and on top a large teal a and the word avon.
The bottom of the tin reads. A delightful talcum to use after the bath. Applied in a light film over the entire body it leaves the skin dry, smooth, fresh and fragrant. It soothes prickly heat, and, when used freely, tends to prevent chafing.
It may be used freely for babies as well as for adults. Note: it is not recommended to use talcum powder on babies today. Condition: this tin shows its age of 82 years.The lid has a spot where there is no paint and the bare metal shows through. There is generalized darkening, and a scotch tape mark on the side that may come off (i did not attempt to clean it). The paint around the edges of the lid is worn, as this is a well-loved vintage item. The powder and puff have survived amazingly well.
A great collector's item and rare find. Please read descriptions carefully and view all the photos.
Most of the vintage items in my shop are pre-loved; therefore, i do not know what type of environment they came from. I clean items when possible and appropriate, and describe them as accurately as i can, noting any flaws that i see.
If you have specific questions, please feel free to send me a convo. I will work with you to resolve the issue. Don't be surprised to find paper towel tubes, empty (washed) food containers, and the like inside your recycled box. These are nearly weightless and take up space, making them great packing materials. If you really want an item and are willing to take the risk, please message me.
