Brazilian Ceramic Telephone
« on: December 22, 2013, 01:24:35 pm »
Greetings,

Hubby and I went to the flea market and splurged a whole $1.00 on this. I can't find anything about it.

The first pic shows the front; second the back (Don't think it is an ashtray, as there is no hole in the rest of the body to let the smoke out. Maybe a business card holder?); third is bottom "Made in Brazil"; and the fourth shows the iridescence.

Maybe one of you can point me in the right direction? Looking for era (I believe Vintage) and value.

Thanks!

ou are correct with your assumption....it is a business card holder,...a few on ebay, albeit in a more modern style..did find this one and by its description it could be the same....but...no pic....

Thanks, Wull.

Just thought it was different. Besides, couldn't pass up the price! :D
