Hair nets, bobby pins and vintage cosmetic advertisements from early magazines have wonderful graphics and look great as vintage images.
Packaging and graphics of the 1940's and 1950s are very colorful.
These fun collectibles are of interest to so many people, from crafters, collectors and home decorators. You better scoop these gems up quickly because now scrapbookers and mixed media artists are also buying these images.
Perhaps the
most loyal collector of beauty items is vintage clothing collectors who are apt to use the accessories and not just look at them.Vanity collectors are another group of hunters who are in search for these treasures. But vanaity collectors prefer to decorate their boudoirs with these charming items and not disturb the packaging. Gals who like vintage bathrooms may not be as particular about the condition of the packaging and simply want to add these finds to their wall decor.
