Title: Question about vintage make-up compact / mirror!
Post by: mygrandmasattic on July 17, 2012, 10:48:01 PM: Hi there! I'm wondering if anyone can give me any information on this makeup compact - I have searched the internet trying to find the maker of this or any information but haven't found a thing. It is in excellent shape with an enamel floral top and the original puff inside. Also have the original box which has a cool sliding hinge. Any help on with the maker / value would be fantastic! Thank you in advance :D
