Revoln Girl
« on: September 25, 2010, 09:04:46 pm »
My daughter bought this for me at a yard salel several years back,she paid $4 for it at the time .The lady who sold it stated it to be a R evlon Girl.I found some information but not a lot, she is one of maybe four made I believe to a set ??.It has a number on the bottom c  8499, paper sticker also partially ripped off whats left remaining says import Japan. As a child I rember seeing one of these just like this on my Mothers dresser.She is beautiful,has a little wear on the paint.

Headvases are a great collectible - timeless.  They were relatively "cheap" items that were sold with arrangements at florists and at the local dime stores.  Initially around .69¢ up to a few dollars....these have been great investments and family hand-me-downs!

We have quite a few passed down from grandmothers/moms.  We really like them.  interestingly enough Wendy, all of ours (but one) have dates on them as well.
