Up for sale is a lot of three vintage 1930s/1940s spun aluminum boudoir vanity powder puff music boxes. These items are being sold completely AS-IS, specifically for parts, repair, or a creative restoration project. Please read the full condition description below before purchasing.
Included in the Lot:
• One smaller textured aluminum box featuring a cream ceramic medallion lid with a bird and floral motif.
• One medium brushed aluminum box featuring a green border ceramic medallion lid with a romantic courting couple scene.
• One dark-toned aluminum box with a wooden lid knob, standing on small metal feet.
Condition Details (Sold AS-IS):
• Cosmetic Wear: All three boxes show visible surface scratches, scuffs, and natural patina/tarnish consistent with their age and heavy use.
• Music Movements: The mechanical music functions are hit-or-miss. Some mechanisms work/wind up, while others do not play properly or may be overwound/frozen.
• Missing Components: Two of the boxes are missing their original foundational feet/legs, causing them to sit unevenly on flat surfaces. Original powder puffs and sifter screens are not included.
This is an excellent harvest lot for antique restorers, clockmakers, or hobbyists looking for authentic vintage parts, internal music movements, or porcelain lid medallions.
Ships quickly and securely. Please review all photos closely for exact cosmetic and physical condition. Please feel free to message me with any questions!
