Greetings!  I have not seen the third word from right in decades.  I understand it denotes "brand" or "product made by".  Regards,  Peter

The powder puff illustrated and best made of down used to be a vital part of every woman's toiletries. I'm not sure when they went out of fashion. Having just googled "swansdown powder puff" I see that I could now obtain one (used) for between £80 and £95.
