Description

Gorgeous - this beautiful early Stratton Stratnoid Powder Compact is made of chrome with a circular, patented powder mechanism to the inside. The top is beautiful all set beneath a clear, soft celluloid cover, the picture, reverse painted of a 1920's Flapper playing with a spaniel puppy, the use of foil to the background, immitating the wonderful butterfly wing pictures popular during the period, forms a gorgeous backdrop. Measuring c. 2" inch square all clasps and hinges are perfect and the mechanism internally is turning true. There is even a signed puff (which is very rare to find!) The high polish steel mirror is in good order, overall a wonderful piece showing only a couple of miniscule wear marks to one of the corners, but does not detract, all in all a lovely collectable piece that will not disappoint
