Cosmetics and tobacco are two of the 20th century's most fascinating fashion influences, for they inspired new accessories for the well-dressed woman. This book highlights the evolution of popular vanity cases by investigating materials from compact, cigarette case and lighter manufacturers. The book begins with a history of cosmetics, and their impact on society, and goes on to show how compacts evolved to hold cosmetics and who fashioned them. The tobacco-related containers are also traced from their beginnings to the establishment of a new line of accessories for both men and women. Through her newly revised text and hundreds of color photographs and advertising pieces of examples arranged chronologically, the author provides a wealth of information in this growing collector's field.[AuthorName]By (author) Roseann Ettinger[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Roseann Ettinger, author also of Popular Jewelry and Handbags, specializes in antique clothing and jewelry at her shop "Remember When" in Mount Holly, New Jersey.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]385+ photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern]385+ photos[/ColorPattern]
