Romantic Gifts For Her Elgin American Compact
What a wonderful present for your fiancee or wife - a vintage 1940s Elgin American
Love heart compact mirror.
In the mid 1940s the Illinois Watch Case Co subsidiary Elgin American produced a series
of heart shaped powder compacts aimed at the St Valentine's Day market.
This one must be one of the most collectible as it shows Cupid - the icon of St Valentine's Day seated & holding strings with winged hearts attached to them.
All around Cupid are the words "I love you" in eight different lanuages.
The ones I know are "I love you", "Je t'aime" (French) ,"Te amo" (Spanish), "Ich liebe dich"(German), "Ja cie kocham" (Polish). The background to all of this is brushed gold tone. It is a superbly well made compact & in very good condition considering it is over 70 years old. The lid lifts easily to reveal an excellent mirror with a teardrop shaped bezel. The inner lid is beatifully ornate & signed "Elgin American MADE IN U.S.A.
The base is brushed gold tone.
This powder compact measures 3".
