Title: Antique Makeup Compacts
Post by: sreyomac on September 30, 2012, 05:30:20 PM

These were pretty cool. I haven't looked them up but i doubt they are worth much. The one on the left has powder, blush and lipstick still in it, as well as a slip of paper stating the date received, 1929. The second one still has lip gloss in it, but the brush is missing, and the last on has powder still in it, and it's puff.
