This Marilyn Monroe Plate is on ebay and i am wanting to buy it but i want to see how much it is worth i am a new collector to these plates and I plan on expanding my collection.
I purchased an antique box about ten years ago. I stored it in my garage. I was digging through somethings yesterday and found the box. Inside was this pin. I don't know anything about it. It has no makers mark and I don't know the metal either, though I am sure it isn't gold or silver. Just would like to know something about it. It does have some damage to it, but all in all, it is in fair to to barely poor condition.
This case is made out of hard cardboard covered with royal blue leather print paper. The Guerlain Paris & Crest are Gold in color embossed on the front of case. The case which open with double doors are secured with keyed prestolock hasp type closer no key found. The top has a suitcase style handle of molded plastis secured with brass bradded mounts. The case is 16.5" tall X 16.5" wide X 6.5" depth. The open case has metal clips fixed to a mirrored back which hold a Kimex bottle w/ rubber topped pipette. There are 5 bottle's missing. The remaining 19 still contains perfume. The door's are hinged w/brass bradded 3" from the bottom of case. That creates a storage in the front half of the bottom. The other half seems to be dead space
A small piece of paper is attached to the black laquer bottom plate that says: "Yaegakihime" This doll portrays a princess in the old "Smurai" days. She is seen handing a helmet to her husband who is about to leave for the battlefront.
