    Somewhere I have a matching brush. Anyways is this 30's era or later? It has no markings. It is 12 inches tall and about 4 inches wide.

    I would think 30's is correct, into 40's. Odd mixture of art deco handle and florid decoration. :)

    I think later 1960s.
    The flowers look like the Florenza lipstick holder flowers.

    With the corrosion not a lot of value.

    Cool I am not as bad at guessing dates as I thought. I think it may have been my great grandmother's but I really don't know. Not sure where I got it to be honest. LOL! It just kind of appeared one day.

    She died back in the 80's when I was just a kid. She raised me until I was around 6 or 7 though cause both my parents drove long haul trucks at the time. She was 87 when she died in 1989 so she probably did wear a flapper dress or two. ;-)

    She was quite the character though. She taught me how to bet on the ponies when I was just a tot. She also bought me my first horse and even though it was "medicinal" she gave me my first sips of whisky.

    Now I know my great granddad "her husband" was a moonshiner back in the day. Oh there are some funny stories there.

    She also told me stories about watching Bonnie and Clyde running from the police right past the old house. My great granddad and her ran a general store that used to sit on the front of their property. Her house and that old store have been gone a long time. I have some pictures of the old store in a bad state of decay back in the 60's. It was torn down long before I was born.

    She was a tough old bird the kind that answered the door with shotgun in hand. Everyone said she was mean but she loved me to death and spoiled me rotten as a kid. I called her O'mama my great granddad was O'papa but he died when I was just a baby.

    So yeah I have some colorful characters in my ancestry. You know that song "I Come From A Long Line Of Losers" I am pretty sure it was written about me. LOL! I loved her dearly though.

    Irish Cherokee... That's me. ;-) Ask me about the horse thieving preacher one day. That would be just a little further back in the line but quite the tale. :)
