Maybe too picky but i found this makeup case today and ive found similar ones on line dating to the 20's but the peacock is different mine has far more tail feathers that are better defined and it has three little balls on top of its head as opposed to the single one i see online. it may be an insignificant difference but id like to be as accurate as possible on the date. any chance any of you are experts on nylotis rouge compacts?

Nov. 1918 to May, 1923 looks like the time range, but couldn't see where, exactly, your version came in.
There was a lawsuit, as mentioned in this article.


"Within a year the product range was increased to include; lipsticks, eyebrow pencils and, of note to compact collectors, rouges and compacts in gunmetal cases. At about the same time, though, a serious problem emerged from an unexpected source. The Detroit-based Nyal Company had been using a peacock logo for its Nylotis range of toilet preparations and featured the peacock on all its packaging, including vanity cases, since November 1918. Needless to say, Nyal was not impressed with this new peacock interloper and naturally sought to stop this infringement of its trademark by seeking a ruling from the Examiner of Trademark Interferences. Yes, there was such a person.

In the event, someone from Nyal would have lost their job because no-one had actually registered the trademark until 10 days after The Paris Toilet Company had registered its own trademark. The Examiner of Trademarks ruled that the registration date was more important than the date the mark was claimed to have been used. So the Golden Peacock crowed its victory over Nyal and that venerable cosmetics company had to stop using their version of a peacock from May 1923. This makes Nylotis products quite rare, as a result, and Golden Peacock products much more common."
