The textured gold vanity case lined on the exterior with black leather, the interior fitted with a mirror and compartments and compacts for powder, lipstick, a cigarette lighter and lipstick holder, the thumbpieces of two of the compartments set with buff-top sapphires and rubies, completed by a black and gold tassel, gross weight approximately 460 dwts, engraved 'All My Love And I Love You More Each Day,' signed Cartier.

In fair to good condition overall. Mirror cracked and taped, soft abrasions to the gold throughout, small spots of discoloration to the exterior. Textured leather is lightly worn. Both interior boxes and lipstick are signed Cartier, lighter is unsigned. One interior section empty, but apparently originally fitted with another box. Lid on the lipstick comes unhinged.
