Old Theatrical Makeup

[debodun]

Cleaning out a dresser drawer, I came across what looked like a tackle box, but inside was various items of theatrical makeup. I do not know anyone in my family that was in entertainment, amateur or pro. This is a mystery to me unless it was one of those things my parents obtained in a "box lot" at an auction many years ago and just put in in the dresser. Some of these items look "vintage".

If by "vintage" you mean old, yes, they're old.

I would put that on Ebay in a flash. A "theatrical" collector would gobble that up right quickly, I'd think. From the quick research I just did, it looks like it's from the 40's at the latest and perhaps even from the 30's.

What a fun find!
