FANCY VINTAGE EVANS RS STUDDED PURSE/COMPACT NECESSAIRE LIPSTICK POWDER CIG BOX

Description

This listing is for a 1950's Evans purse/compact or Necessaire in very good condition with everything you need for a night out.  There is a large mirror, a lipstick holder, a comb, a powder puff and compartment, as well as a copious cigarette compartment.  It measures 5 1/2 by 3 by 1 inches.  The basket-weave goldtone finish, rhinestone flowers and gold rope handle are really stunning.   This beautiful compact is missing two rhinestones from the the cluster decoration on the front.  One is in the lower left corner, and the other is in the second cluster from the right top corner.  I don't see any other issues with this compact, except I spilled most of the powder out of it.  The comb is perfect, and the original '50's lipstick is still there!   I have hundreds of antiques and collectibles listed in my store.  All of my items were found in estate sales and cleanouts on Cape Cod.  None of the items have been touched by the public, just stored in totes. All items have been stored for weeks or thoroughly washed.  I am in a low risk area and I am observing all precautions for virus protection.
I TRY TO USE THE CHEAPEST RATE POSSIBLE ON USPS, using FIRST CLASS, MEDIA and PARCEL SELECT rates whenever I can. Books under one pound will always go First Class, because it's much faster than Media for only a little more money.  I get a great discount on Priority Mail from eBay, so often when I buy the label Priority is about the same as Parcel Select or the other Standard Mail rates.  If it only costs a little more, I will absorb the extra cost myself to get the free insurance with Priority and then I can use the free boxes they provide.  It won't cost you more than the Standard Mail rate listed for your purchase. If you want Priority to speed delivery, you can always ask for that option, and I am likely to refund a small amount of postage when I buy the label through eBay and get my discount.  Priority is much faster, no doubt.  I pack carefully, and fragile items will always be in an ample-sized, sturdy box with lots of bubble wrap and foam peanuts used.  I always use recycled peanuts, and when the virus is over, I will go back to using sturdy used boxes whenever I can.  I only use USPS, because FedEx and UPS have told me at their offices here on Cape Cod that they WILL NOT insure antiques and collectibles.  I have had 22 years of excellent service from USPS, with only a few problems out of thousands and thousands of packages sent.
