Cherry Red Vintage Manicure Set (Unbranded).
Vintage Art Deco-style manicure set, likely dating from the 1930s to the 1950s. These kits were popular vanity accessories and often featured handles made of early plastics like Bakelite or Catalin, typically in vibrant colours like the cherry red seen here.
The oval fitted case features a mock-crocodile or textured exterior with a pleated silk or fabric lining and an integrated mirror in the lid. Typical implements in such sets include a nail buffer (the large red-backed tool at the top), a nail file, cuticle pushers, and sometimes small jars for creams or polishes.
The handles are frequently identified as Bakelite. While some sets were produced in England (notably Sheffield), similar kits were also widely manufactured in Germany during this era. I cannot confirm that this is Bakelite or who the original maker is since there is no makers mark.
Made in Country, 1930s-1950s.
