AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This image shows a vintage early 20th-century toilet set, complete with personal care accessories and advertising materials from the era. The set is presented in a box lined with red satin and includes various items such as a handheld mirror, hair brushes, and small containers. Here are the details of the main elements identified in the image:

1. Celluloid Toilet Set
The set appears to be made of celluloid (a type of early plastic) or Bakelite, common materials for beauty items from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
Hand Mirror: An oval mirror with a coordinated handle.
Brushes: Includes several brushes, probably one for hair and a smaller one for clothing.
Other accessories: There is a striped box (perhaps for powder or soap), a comb, and a metal tool that could be a curling iron or an antique hair iron.

2. Paper Materials and Advertising
The set is accompanied by documents that help date it:
Perfumerie Bertelli Price List (1929): At the top, there appears to be a catalog or price list for Profumerie Bertelli of Milan, dated January 1929. The Bertelli company was famous for its cosmetics and fragrances, such as the famous "Catramina".
Medical Booklet: On the right is a booklet titled "The Care of General Weakness" by Dr. Camillo Rocchietta. This is an era advertising booklet (often associated with the 1920s or 1930s) for dietary supplements or pharmaceutical remedies of the time.
