<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 26310, member: 111&quot;]Thanks, Silver.&nbsp; Geez, women&#039;s fads can just be so silly - must have come late to your mother&#039;s crowd, Johnson &amp; Johnson notes that they were found in their catalog from 1912-1927: <a href="http://www.kilmerhouse.com/2008/03/beauty-spots/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kilmerhouse.com/2008/03/beauty-spots/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kilmerhouse.com/2008/03/beauty-spots/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t say that I recall seeing any patch boxes in the numerous manufacturer and retailer catalogs I&#039;ve looked through over the years, most dating from the 1860s to 1940s - but the later use does explain why so many small compacts, as well as little boxes intended for snuff, pills, bon-bons, etc. are so often called &#039;patch boxes&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
