Lovely ebony dressing table hair tidy with screw top. The thread is still pretty good and it unscrews well. These were used to collect ladies' hair combings to use as stuffing in pin cushions or similar (or even to help maintain their hair colour in later years). Sadly a previous owner appears to be unaware of the correct use and has used this as an ashtray and while the top is fine the inside is a little tainted. I have wiped it clean but there is a slight smell.
