ANTIQUE MORITZ MADLER VANITY TRAVEL CASE - 26 PIECES! Leather case with crystal brass celluloid items. 1890s This is truly a one-of-a-kind find! (And there are TONS of pictures below!) Up for auction is an antique vanity / travel case circa 1890's. It is a leather suitcase stamped Moritz Madler, Leipzig with a stunning assortment of vanity items - made of crystal, brass and what I believe may either be bone or celluloid (an early form of plastic). I have searched and searched and really have found nothing like this. I would guess this is really museum quality! I'll try to describe this in detail, but there is a lot! The case itself is a hard black leather case measuring 20 inches by 13 inches by 7 1/2 inches with a leather handle, brass closure and brass resting studs. The inside is red leather. Inside the top is an 8 inch by 13 inch mirror - back lined in red leather. This is actually removable! On one side of this is a hair crimper and on the other side is a shoe horn & hook. The hook part was used to fasten the Victorian and Edwardian era high button shoes! On the inside right is a removable writing wallet. Complete with lock and key! On the inside left are the following vanity items held in a removable pallet: two smaller button hooks, a small bristle brush, something that looks like a small lint or powder brush, a nail file, five other items that must have been for nail care and even a tiny rouge/lipstick holder - still partially filled!. I think one of these may have been a glove stretcher (back in the days when ladies wore skin tight gloves!) In front is a celluloid comb in it's own leather pouch. And in the back - also in a removable container with a brass handle are the following: a toothbrush holder with toothbrush, seven crystal containers probably for perfumes, talcs and lotions (two still have some powder in them!), a brass travel clock, two brushes and two other containers that I'm not sure what they are for. I think this is a COMPLETE set - just missing one lipstick/rouge container. It even has a cloth protective wrap around it! If you're a collector, this is for you! If you need to give a unique gift, this is for you! If you want a display item in your home that will be a real conversation piece, this is for you!
