Chesebrough-Ponds Inc. - Rouge - Heart-Throb shade - Vintage c. 1930. Manufactured by the Ponds Extract Company. New York, N.Y. ... To many "baby-boomers" when they a think of the word "Ponds" ... they immediately think of a product that their mother once used ....which was "Ponds Cold Cream." It was a product that was applied to the face and wiped off with tissues to remove one's makeup from their face in the evening ... and it was also a product that moisturized the skin since it contained 50% moisturizer..... Today, few people know that the Ponds Company (Chesebrough-Ponds,) actually made a wide variety of products such as: a Skin Freshener & Tonic, Cleansing Tissues, a Face Powder, a Hand Cream, a Cake Foundation, a Makeup Mist Foundation, a Talc, a Dusting Powder, etc. Ponds also made LIPSTICKS with matching shades of ROUGE. This is one of those rare rouge products that was made by the Chesebrough-Ponds Company. Besides one not knowing that a Ponds Rouge product even existed ... even serious collectors seldom sees such a rare product today being offered on the Internet because there are so few ofd them. This is a delightful brass compact that contains a small rouge applicator and a nice amount of rouge in its pot. ..... The bottom of the compact states: Packed by Chesebrough-Ponds Inc., NY - Made in USA. .... The top lid of the compact states "PONDS" .... The top of the powder applicator has the word "PONDS" embossed onto it. The hinge of the compact is in good working condition as is the rest of the item. This is a rare find for the serious collector of vintage rouge containers and cosmetic products that wishes to add a rare and special product to their unique vintage cosmetic collection.
