Seriously. I actually convinced the she slave to part with one of her oldest, most unique and treasured basset collectibles. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>She even bought a book to look it up. Bedroom and Bathroom Glass of the Depression Years, Whitmeyer 1990, page 17. The Diamond shaped frosted pink powder jar has a "Basset Hound Finial". The box itself is 5 1/2 long by 4 1/4 high. Also called a puff box, they were made in interesting shapes to persuade a cash starved society to splurge. That is exactly what this Queen is doing now! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://dailydrool.com/cgi-bin/houndsbay.cgi?category=homedecor&item=1302489036">http://dailydrool.com/cgi-bin/houndsbay.cgi?category=homedecor&item=1302489036</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>They came with powder but could be used for anything after the original product was used. The were made in pink and green. I have not found a PINK one for sale anywhere in years. I did find, and borrow this image because my paws could not do the box justice. It has a few flaws, they are fragile and even in green, few perfect ones exist. There is a crack that runs inside the glass at one corner. It can't be felt on the in or outside, but is visible. There are a few tiny chips on the underside edge of the lid and top of the interior box. The basset is perfect. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The fragile houndie and box are about 90 years old, they are entitled to a few character marks. It is a spectacular, incredibly rare bit of basset, cra...can't even use the term. It is a timeless, priceless wonder. Don't bid if you won't love it. You don't know how long I had to give the look to get this our of her clutches......big eyes, poor hounds, not disgrace Momcakes....and Auntie Feyfey and I even worked in that Clara and Melba would want her to do it.....I am a shameless little Queen. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>More stuff soon, but this was too big a deal to sit on!!
