Re: Wanted, perfume bottle in 1940 Club Sedan Vanity

Here are a couple of photos of 40 vanity cases. The illustration from the brochure looks like it might be a flat sided fancy bottle. The photo from a car in the Nethercutt collection looks to be some kind of leather pocket or sleeve which held something -- maybe like the compact George mentioned.
In addition to perfume or lipstick vanity cases probably also held some face powder in something like one of those fancy flat sided gold or silver cases or compacts you see in the 30s movies. In the movies the guy always seems to pull a flat cigarette case from his coat and the lady always has a compact in a somewhat similar shape to pull out of her handbag.
