Hello all--I've been lagging on the updates, but I'm working hard cataloging all the items for my shop! It's going really well, but it's a ton of work. However today i won't delve into that too much--today I'm going to share with you the contents of a woman's Samsonite--not all of them, I gave a lot of the good vintage bottles to my mother-in-law who collects these things, but I still have some interesting contents in this Samsonite.
There she is--a Silhouette Style 1412 by Samsonite. Still in fabulous condition too!!
The top try holds various items including Kleenex, toothpaste, packets of mouth wash, vaseline and bandaids, a comb, scissors and pencil, tweezers---and under a smaller square tray(center back) holds curlers and a ton of bobby pins and clips.
beneath the tray holds so much more( and smells a little of chemicals--I blame the bottles of mystery substance)
This woman loved leaving herself notes so not to forget--on the left bottom corner of the mirror she attached a type written sticker for directions to "attach straight switch" --I don't know what that means, but it's still super interesting.
Travel bottles full of mystery substance--If I had to guess I would say tanning oil and lotion maybe? Anyone want to take a guess-- =)

Every woman needs to smell good--easy carry sample fragrance packets and travel mouthwash packets too. Samsonite also included a bottle of scope, but I don't have it any more.

| Vaseline and Band aids for the accidents that happen |

| two makeup pads labeled brown and white. Both are powered eyeshadow with brushes |
Vaseline and band aids because somethings accidents happen. Eye shadows for the necessary touch ups. I have some old vintage lipsticks too--but they were not in the Samsonite. Also--used to include a couple different bottles of nail mending glue, but those were given away.
I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST~~Can anyone guess what these little candies are?? I know they look gross, but after reading about them apparently they were pretty good.

| Ayds Diet Suppressant candies--they were taken off the shelf in 1988 due to the name/slogans being associated the the disease. |

If you look up Ayds you will find a ton of interesting commericals from the 80's, articles as early as the 50's and a ton of people talking about these candies--I can't decide if it's cool or kind of gross have the actual candy. i wish I had the box, but obviously they were taken out and put in their travel case for necessity.
I hope you enjoyed by tour through a vintage Samsonite--Happy Sunday!!
