This is an antique art deco tortoise comb with a hidden lipstick slide that extends from the frame handle when you push the release dot on the handle. Lipstick still intact in the sleeve and is very bright red. Monogrammed with "U of D J-Prom 1938" and is in mint or near mint condition. Gold toned or very highly polished brass, the intricate design of the comb and the hidden lipstick are unique. From a Michigan estate, I am assuming that this could be from the University of Detroit Junior Prom but may have originated at any "U of D" school. About 3 7/8" long. A very pretty and unusual item.

Thank you for considering our listing!  We are one of the “originals” on eBay, beginning in the late 1990s when eBay founder Pierre Omidyar answered the phone!

We always try to ship every purchase on the same day or the next business day after payment. We pack each item well and provide feedback to buyers.

Although we generally do not accept returns, we will certainly take back anything we have misrepresented on our listings.

Of course, we combine shipping on everything we sell. Just let us know if you are waiting for another item to close before paying. If you pay for one item immediately, we will ship it immediately. We can’t combine shipping after the fact.
