    I love the 30's. I agree that the packaging was amazing and so classy. A fly on the wall when high end was truly high end.

    Interesting that you mention Richard Hudnut. He was the father in law of Rudolph Valentino. His stepdaughter, Natascha Rambova (real name Winifred Shaughnessy) married Valentino in the early 1920s.

      Such a loss...Field's was great. I hated the Macy-cization of every department store in the US around the early 2000s. They tried to buy us loyal customers off by continuing Frango mints, but we weren't having it.

    There are still 11 Sears still operating in the US and 1 in Puerto Rico. Sadly, the one I shopped in last year just closed in April. It was a surreal experience, rather abandoned already yet filled with all the familiar features I always remembered. And there still stands right where I live an old Sears building containing new businesses but retaining its original structure. Rocking on.

    I remember being a kid in the '60s when that Sear's catalogue would come for the holidays. You would make that thing last all year thumbing through the pages. We had a lot of nicer department stores in the Boston area too, like Filene's and Jordan Marsh. Then there were the more luxurious stores like Neiman Marcus (which came later, I believe), Lord & Taylor, and Bonwit Teller. It seems like they all folded around the time Macy's took over everything. ☹ Same with Marshall Field's in the Midwest and Wanamaker's in Philly, both of which were bought out by Macy's, if I recall correctly.

    My mom who was from UK, grew up in the late 30's & 40's. She had this old lipstick (I don't know what company made it) but all I do remember about it was on the side of the tube it came in was these little pieces (like a tiny metal lever) that you would push up on the sides to open the lipstick and push down to close. Do you know anything about this lipstick?
    I saw it in the 1960's when I was growing up and she had kept it, put away in an old sewing box. I don't know if it was a lipstick she had bought in UK or bought somewhere when she moved to USA.

      Do you have any videos where you show a close up of those old lipsticks?
      Is there a place to buy them from, (never used ones that is?)

      Yes, just a handful now open . Was watching a UA-cam video on them just a few days ago. They're pretty sad, bare, and outdated looking now, but when I was a kid in the 60's and '70's it was great to shop there. Always candy stop with my own little bag on the way out that was in the front of the store. 😊
