Antique Pewter Make-Up Box Container w/ Hidden Mirror
This antique pewter container was used most likely for make-up, since it has a mirror on the lid. But the mirror is concealed as a separate lid, so it might not be noticed by everyone. Also, above the mirror is an etched name: P.A. Andersson Garanti. The outer lid on top has raised ornamentation, with diamond motif, leaves, and dotted edge. There are no other marks or hallmarks present. The dimensions are 3 1/4 x 1 3/4 x 1 inches. The mirror is spotted, which is common for its age, which could be 75 years or more. The rest of the box is in very good condition, and it closes securely. * * This is a unique box, perfect for any collector of antique vanity items.
