The base is typical of this maker for its 1950s production - smooth tone gold stars on an engine turned background. Image four shows a dull over head shot without any reflections, as the enamel is highly reflective. A hard to find collectible shipped with its full history in the form of a lavishly illustrated historical fact pack. This vintage compact mirror measures 3 1/8" & weighs 92.4 grams.
