Just looking at the picture, there are a couple of things I noticed. The box does look like it could be authentic old school box, but the blush itself looks funny. The hetchmarks on the blush don't look like any I have seen, old school or current. They are wide, and even look wavy or unevenly spaced. Also, there is a stange space/large uneven gap between the pan and the compact. The compact itself looks like authentic newer, but the pan/blush itself doesn't. Most of the old school blushes I have seen were also in screw top pots. hmmmm I wouldn't touch that auction myself.
