Birks silver dresser/grooming set.
9 piece set including mirror, 2 brushes, 2 pair scissors, 2 nail files and a button hook. Likely from around 1924 or so my aunt thinks as she remembers my grandmother always having it. It is stamped Birks.
This was my grandmother’s and her daughter, my aunt, says she remembers her mother as always having it. She suspects it was part of her trousseau when she was married in 1924 in Minneapolis.
