Got a small Avon lipstick tube, dating back to the 50's. Avon sales ladies used to go door to door selling beauty supplies and/or getting recruits to sell product and become independent working from home. They often times left small brass lipstick bullet samples, as the one I dug up. Click below to hear the famous "DING-DONG.......AVON CALLING" 18 second commercial.
