Vintage Deltah Plastic Necklace Presentation Box with Original Guarantee Slip - This American-made jewelry presentation box features a rectangular form constructed with a cream-colored plastic lid and a contrasting red plastic base. The lid is decorated with a series of vertical ribs across the center, flanked by smooth, beveled ends. The interior is fitted with a white satin-lined base and a patterned, embossed paper lining on the underside of the lid. Affixed to the interior lid lining is a gold-tone metal shield-shaped crest surmounted by a crown, bearing the embossed name DELTAH. The box is accompanied by a rectangular paper guarantee slip printed in red and gold. The slip features a diamond-shaped logo containing the letters L H & S INC. and identifies the brand as Deltah TRADE MARK REG. The text provides a guarantee for a necklace, which is no longer present. The lower-left corner of the slip includes the printed notation Printed in U.S.A. Length: approximately 6 inches. The box shows signs of age and use consistent with mid-century materials. The interior lid lining exhibits significant foxing and brown spotting across the embossed paper surface (photos 2 and 3). The white satin base lining shows visible wear and fraying, particularly along the front and side edges (photo 3). The exterior red plastic base displays numerous surface scratches, scuffs, and abrasions across the underside (photo 4). The cream-colored lid shows minor surface soiling and light scratches commensurate with age (photo 1). The paper guarantee slip is intact but shows light toning (photo 2).
