Vintage leather pouch and Bottle 4711 MIGNON Lavender Salts Minature.
4711 MIGNON Lavender Salts Minature Bottle with Case
This little case and bottle of salts is a vintage find. The leather case appears dried and has a tough feel to it. It shows age for sure. Has snap closure. he original cap, salts and labels WOW.
UPDATE: Watchsearcher - I have posted a better photo #2 with clear back side of the bottle
Photo 2 is blurry but I can see the active ingredient is spirit ammonia....so is this smelling salts, used to revive someone who faints?
The carrying case would make it easy for a gentleman to carry in his jacket pocket for those occasions when a lady might swoon.
Just a whiff of ammonia is all it takes to ‘revive’ the fainted one - the smell is so awful, maybe they incorporated lavender to seem more gentle or delicate for ladies.
Have you opened the bottle for a sniff?
Hello Watchsearcher - I just update the photo #2 to a clear image of the back side. (thank you)
I did smell the contents and yes it is ammonia, definitely ! Whew.
I did not smell any lavender at all, must dissipate quickly.
It would revive the faintest of ladies, or gents in my opinion.
thank you for browsing through and your comment is so welcomed.
