This is a vintage powder compact for pressed powders or loose powder
As you can see it is "as new" and still in its original retail box. It dates to the 1960s.
The compact comes with a little lipstick holder / container as a matching set. It comes in its original 1950s presentation box - which is lined with ruffled white silk and has a pale pink flock and gold foil exterior.
Both the powder compact and the lipstick container are decorated with glossy black enamel and wee gold tone roses.
It is marked Made in Great Britain - but has no maker's marks. It might be by Mascot.
The mirror inside is nice and clean. The powder base is designed to hold a pressed cake of face powder - most modern ones should fit in here.
As you can see from my photographs - it has never been used and it is still in its original silk-lined box.
The diameter is 8 cm (3 inches). I have taken lots of images for your inspection.
The box measures 5 1/2 inches x 4 inches x 1 1/2 inches.
The matching lipstick holder is also unused and in excellent condition. It even has a little original paper product leaflet inside. Never seen that remaining in place before.
It dates to the early 1960s. My asking price reflects its age and its exceptional condition. It is hard to believe that it is now well over 50 years old and never used. I love the box it comes in - it is rare to find the original gift box for these sets - as most have been discarded years ago.
UK postage will be £4.95 and applied at check-out. I have a number of vintage powder compacts in my online shop. Multiple purchases will be capped at £4.95 in postage to you.
