Perhaps a childs toy, or adult novelty?. 3" red flocked Monkey makeup kit.

By kimar, 3 September, 2012
Description

We are wondering if anyone can tell us anything about this little monkey makeup kit.  It stands approximately 3 inches high.

The monkeys limbs are moveable independantly of each other.   The head comes off to reveal what looks like it would have held either an eyebrow pencil or lipstick in the short nub that the monkeys head attaches to. 

When the head is off the monkeys body opens up to reveal what looks like pressed powder and a very small powder puff on the left side of the monkeys body and a small mirror on the right.

We are interested in knowing anything about this little guy, but are particularly interested to know how old it might be, where it might have originated or have been made by and if it was intended for a child or if it was a novelty item for an adult. 

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.
