The perfect color of red, with ivory bone colored accessories. From 1950's West Germany it has never been used.  I use to travel and I would have loved to have had this with me, but it's so pretty I couldn't bring myself to use it. Inside the zippered red leather case on one side is a comb, hair brush, and nail brush. There are two clear plastic containers with silver metal lids, both are rectangular in shape, one larger than the other.   Everything has it's place and each one fits nicely under the red leather straps that keep them secure. The other side holds a really nice nail file, two nail cleaners with creamy smooth ivory plastic handles, a pair of scissors, and a shoe horn. There are two good sized safety pins, and three wheels of thread, one black and two white. Nothing appears to have been used. This would make a most lovely gift for someone who really loves vintage items. I know you know who I'm talking about. Hey, maybe it's you?   all of the metal items are marked Germany or WGermany.   The case measures 8" inches tall, 4 3/4"' inches wide, and just over an inch and a half thick when closed.  When opened, it's 9" inches wide. ******************************************** Please check out my other listings too! clickable thumbnails created at www.navpics.com Click on a picture to visit that auction Roll the mouse over a picture for a larger image Thank you for viewing my auctions !   Before Bidding. My listings tend to be of an eclectic nature, so please note although I appreciate the diversity in just about everything, I am an expert on nothing, and do not pretend to be. I will do my very best to describe the actual item featured. It is important to know that my vintage items are pretty much always going to show normal signs of wear. Unless stated otherwise my items won't be new 'old stock' but have been previously owned and loved. Flaws, if any, will be described to the best of my ability however I am not a professional dealer, and I do not examine things under a light with a loop or magnifying glass.  I use enlarged photos to give you the best possible views of what you are bidding on. What might seem trivial to me could be a major issue for you, so if you see something that you want explained,  please don't hesitate to speak up! I can miss things-and I don't mind having something pointed out to me I might not be noticing. So please, let’s address your concerns prior to bidding! I will try my best to answer any questions you ask right away. Additionally, I try to be as honest in my renditions as I can be, but I can't possibly detail each and every scratch that doesn't show even on an enlarged photo on items that aren't new! Vintage condition as defined here is most likely going to mean there is some minimal wear. Just always remember, there are no questions that are too big, too small, or too stupid to ask.  You are the one who will be paying for it should you have the winning bid, so you always have a right to know! Please take into consideration as well that buyers remorse after the fact isn't fair to me or other bidders.  I really want you to be as happy with your purchase as I am.   I'm easy to get along with and I truly like to receive Emails from my customers, so please always feel free to ask away! Shipping and Handling.  While your purchase will be packed with the same care I would expect in return, I cannot be responsible for its safety or loss once it has left my hands. Unless stated otherwise, I’ll leave the choice of whether or not you want to insure your investments up to you.  If you have any concerns, please purchase insurance. Most items will be shipped with delivery confirmation. International shipping requirements and methods vary from country to country so please contact me before bidding if cost is a concern.  I try to ship according to your requested method, but must be able to obtain proof of posting, and unfortunately in some countries this is only available for more expensive options. I will combine shipping costs to save you money on items won and paid for within a 7 day period whenever possible. Please keep me posted if this pertains to you so that I can be sure you get an invoice that will reflect this.  I work alone and don't live where I have mail delivery or pick up, so I don't ship every day. I do try to ship once a week, however even this isn't always possible. Especially during the winter I may be slower than other's to get things to the post office. However,  I am always willing to make a special effort to accommodate to the best of my ability if you are in a rush!  Feel free to ask ahead if you feel there could be a concern.  Upon receipt, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, please refer to my return policy below. .. keep it burning until they are ALL home Place a Bid!
