Lipstick towels were a fad in the 1940s and purportedly created to blot the red lipstick fashionable women wore at the time. Almost always red linen, they were hand embroidered in cotton and silk with the word Lipstick. Highly collectible. Good condition except for a smudge in a corner. See images. Dimensions are 12.75 inches by 7 inches. I always look for these novelty linens as they are becoming very hard to find and represent a tiny slice of American life during World War II. See less
