Straw Hat Advertising Card
Q: I found an advertising card for Faberge Straw Hat perfume inside an old book. The book was published in 1933, but the owner’s signature inside is dated 1947. The card, 3 by 2 inches, pictures a little red and yellow chick holding a purse and wearing a straw hat. On the back of the card are the words: ‘Sniff here, Faberge’s Straw Hat Perfume, It’s fresh, it’s flirty and very purty! Perfume $8, $15; Cologne, $2, $3.50, $6, plus tax, the Wallace Company.’ It is very colorful, with no creases and just a little spotting. Is a card like this of interest to collectors?
