Description
This is a lovely mid-century Elgin American carry-all compact, circa 1950’s.
This has never been used. I listed it under the USED category only because it is pre-owned.
The compact comes in a black cloth carrying case with a handle. The back of the carrying case has a snap compartment holding a celluloid comb.
The compact features an enameled surface with a basket of flowers. Inside is a mirror, a compartment for the pressed powder (including the powder puff), a compartment for rouge and a tube for lipstick. Each compartment lid features a gazelle theme.
The compact measures 4 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in. front to back, and 1 inch high.
The only sign of age on this item is a few spots on the enamel where it meets the gold tone rim. These show in my photos.
