Brush and Mirror about 70 years old....

I love this brush and mirror. These are at my Nan and Pop's house. They belonged to my Pop's mother. One day they will be mine but don't really want to think about that but I will cherish them and look after them when that time comes. My Nan used to use that brush to brush my hair when I was little. And then I'd use the mirror to check the back of my hair after my Nan plaited it. I took this photo months ago wanting to show you because they are quite sentimental to me and even more so now finding out they belonged to my Great Grandmother. Do you have anything in your possession that belonged to your Great Grandmother or Great Grandfather?

Oh my goodness Dani, those are identical to those of my Mom, only the flower is different, she had pink roses on hers.

@LadyDuck That is so cool! Did you ever use the brush or did your mum only use it for herself? I love these brushes and mirrors. So elegant looking.

@VivaLaDani13 well, yes. Those rosaries are one of a kind. A bit bigger than the rosaries you see nowadays and they are made of stone gems.

Not that I can think of. And those are vintage, right?

@JustBhem No worries. To be honest, I'm not really sure what time an item can be deemed vintage but it is old.

@JustBhem No need to be sorry at all. I'm not offended. I just wasn't sure but I asked my dad and he said what you did. It makes me feel happy and see them as more special knowing they are labelled as vintage. Just wasn't sure how many years have to go by to name something as vintage.

That's already antique. You better take care of them or rather preserve them. They're the great memoirs of your great grand mother.
