Interior has compartments for powder, lipstick and money. Comes with a tortoise shell comb, has original sticker. It has its original puff and comes in its original labeled box and pouch. The silvering in the mirror is flaking in two places. Excellent condition, but no puff.
Rhinestone clasp works well and the purse is in excellent condition.
This is a terriffic Elgin-American compact, circa 1940's, with its original box and felt envelope. This is just like the wonderful vintage costume jewelry pieces by Trifari, Jomaz and others who copied Cartier's real gems carved in the same manner. The compact is in near-mint condition. If the puff didn't show signs of rouge and powder, I would say it had never been used. The outside matte goldtone finish is virtually perfect, as is the mirror inside.
