4.5" tall A wonderful vintage advertising bottle for "Special Oil for Charles of the Ritz Pressed Powder Machine," presented in a charming green glass bottle with its original paper label and black ribbed cap. The bottle comes with its original cream-colored box, featuring the elegant embossed Charles of the Ritz crest logo in gold. This piece captures a fascinating slice of mid-century beauty industry history, tied to the once-famous Charles of the Ritz cosmetics brand and its in-store pressed powder dispensing machines. A great find for collectors of vintage cosmetics ephemera, beauty industry advertising, perfume/vanity bottle collectibles, or mid-century pharmacy and department store history. Condition: Overall good vintage condition. Box shows notable wear with staining, edge softening, and fraying typical of age, shown in photos. Bottle label shows some creasing/lifting at the edges; bottle itself appears intact with original stopper. Please examine all photos closely for condition, including remaining liquid contents if present. We do our best to note visible flaws, but some imperfections may not be captured.
