Description: Rare Vintage Art Deco Parker Box No. 220-A Bakelite Plaskon Rare...only one with this design out there that I can find! My grandfather used to keep spare keys in it.Measures: 6 1/2" x 3 1/8" x 1 1/2"Condition: Excellent! No chips or cracks "This Smart Plaskon Utility Case for Cigarettes, Jewelry or Boudoir Trifles, and outright gift - no charge whatever with the purchase of a Parker Laminated Vacumatic Pen and Pencil Set". This was the headline of an advertisement for Parker Pens in the November 1935 edition of 'Woman's Home Companion' magazine (an American monthly magazine, published from 1873 to 1957).'Plaskon' is a trade name that was used for urea moulded plastics manufactured by the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Company (Toledo, OH). Many vintage and antique plastics are erroneously referred to as 'Bakelite', which is actually the trade name for the first completely synthetic commercial plastic (developed in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland).This beautifully classic Art Deco period box would be appreciated by collectors and non-collectors alike. It would be an impressive addition to any collection of vintage plastics (e.g., Plaskon, Bakelite, Beetle, Catalin), tobacciana, Parker Pen memorabilia, or Art Deco pieces. Alternatively, it could be incorporated into any living space as either a functional (e.g., cigarette box, trinket box, sewing kit, desktop storage) or decorative piece.
