There is a tall thin bottle in the front, probably for a toothbrush back in the day. It would have snapped in place in the front of the case just behind the handle. It still fits here but the snap has broken through. It is crystal and is 7″ tall. It is etched in the bottom what looks like Moden Germany.
The pair of matching bottles with the brass threaded tops are 4″ tall, these are the pair that have ground stoppers inside of the lids. The soap box is brass. It is 4″ long and 2 1/2″ across. The smaller bottle without the stopper is most likely for powder. It is 3 1/2″ tall. The clothing brush is 6 1/2″ long and 1 1/2″ wide. The brush is 8″ long and 2 1/2″ wide. The comb is in the right side pocket and is 1 1/2″ wide and 6 ” long. The mirror is in very good condition and is 5 5/8″ long and 3 5/8″ across. It fits in the left pocket of the case. The outside of the case is leather and it is a little rough. These pieces become fragile with age. It is in usable condition however. It is a really neat, very early set.
