Pozzoni's complexion powder brass container, the gold puff box. It is a small brass round lidded container measures 2.25 inches tall with lid, app. 1.5 inches without lid and app. 3 inches wide. It has a beautiful gold looking finish with a lovely design on the box. It is embossed on the bottom with the words " POZZONI'S COMPLEXION POWDER". This is the container that Scoville designed in 1894 and sold $50,000 worth to the company after a little smarts on his part. The company was using a wooden box. There are a few indentions on the bottom, but I believe they are suppose to be here, they are around the bottom of the outside of the container and seems to be placed there. My container is old and needs to be cleaned up, but I don't know if I should. I cannot find anything anywhere on this container, I did find information on the 1912 container, but it is not this one.
