3" x 2" silverplate Evans company jeweled and enamelled cigarette case from the 1930s. I've had the identical item before except the inside was a compact with rouge and powder from Evans. They made a lot of cigarette and lighter items as well as compacts over the years. The front only has a swirly design in the silverplate. There are red and blue rhinestones along with a long oval shaped blue enamel center with a pink enamel flower. There are also blue and white enamel flowers along the edges, some enamel is off these tiny flowers, but it seems to blend right in. There is a wrist chain to hold the case. The back is plain. It opens from the top but then you flip the lid to the right, like turning a page backwards! There are the original hinged flaps that held the contents in place. Most likely for cigarettes. It's a bit too small for a business card. Fun and unusual!

10-1/2" long sterling shoe hook! This is one of the longest ones I've had over the years and it has a beautiful 4" long,  1-1/8" wide top with an ornate raised cupid with wings.

It has the english hallmarks with a Lion (sterling mark), anchor (Birmingham assay office) and the letter d, which was for the year 1903. It's also marked English Made Steel on the long hook part. Because it's so heavy and long I believe this was intended for shoes, not gloves. Great addition to your collection.

The Foster & Bailey company was from Providence, Rhode Island and was founded in 1873.  From 1878 to 1898 the firm was active as Foster & Bailey as partnership of Theodore W. Foster and Samuel H. Bailey. From 1898 the company was incorporated under the name Theodore Foster & Bros. Co. The company made wonderful sterling accessory, vanity and dresser set items. They also made jewelry and some of the best enamelled compacts in the 1920s. The shoehorn would have been part of a much larger, perhaps a 20 piece dresser vanity set, all with pink enamel. What a great set it would have been for your vanity in the 1920s!
