Tuesday Trunk Tidbitz
Up for auction this week is a magnificent Antique Vanity Train Case. This was probably in vogue when trains were the primary means for travel. Imagine a young lady who was about to embark for the journey of a lifetime. She is one of a handful of women who was accepted in the State University.
Leaving her family behind and the love of her youth, her mother weeping at her feet, she clutches her acceptance letter, the words clearly etched in her mind. For the first time in history women were considered as equals to men. She is excited but at the same time fearful for what lies ahead. She must pack her most precious essentials: a comb, a powder puff, rouge and lip ointments, a locket given to her by Roger with a picture of his handsome face and several bottles filled to the brim with liquids that have been concocted by her Pharmacist father. Where else can this all fit but in a Louis Vuitton Vanity Train Case?! Auction is on ebay. Ended at $2100.
