WOW - WHAT A GREAT VINTAGE FIND
ROUND - ENAMEL - ZODIAC - STRATTON COMPACT - SIGNED BY FLORY MACKAY
MADE IN NGLAND
I BELIEVE THIS BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE ZODIC STRATTON COMPACT IS FROM AROUND THE 1948 TIME FRAME. I CANNOT BE SURE, BUT SOME OF MY RESEARCH INDICATES IT MAY BE.
IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL WHITE ENAMEL FRONT WITH ALL THE SIGNS OF THEZODIAC WITH THEIR DATES UNDERNEATH THEIR SIGN. THE SIGNS ARE CLEAR AND VERY READABLE.
IN FACT THE ENAMEL TOP IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION
THE NAME \"FLORY MACKAY\" IS ON THELOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER UNDER THE CRAB
FLORY MACKAY\'S NAME IS ON SEVERAL STRATTON COMPACTS, WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE SHE WAS A DESIGNER OR ARTIST FOR STRATTON AT THAT TIME OF PRODUCTION
THE ONLY INFORMATION I FOUND WAS UNDER ANCESTRY.
THE COMPACT MEASURES 3.25\" IN DIAMETER AND ISGOLDTONEALL INSIDE AND ON THE BACK.
STRATTON MADE COMPACTS CALLED \"COMPACT IN HAND\" WHICH MEANSTHE COMPACT HAS A SELF OPENING INNER LIDAND IT IS UNIQUE TO STRATTON COMPACTS.
THE SELF OPENING HELPED PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE YOUNG LADIESFINGERNAILS.
THIS PATTERN WAS POPULAR AROUND THE TIME OF THE LATE 40\'S WHICH IS WHY I BELIEVE THE DATE MIGHT BE AROUND 1948.THE
THE PUFF HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS, BUT THE TOP LABEL OF THE PUFF IS STILL THERE.
IT ALSO HAS A SCREEN WHICH WENT OVER THE LOOSE POWDER TO KEEPIT FROM GETTING ALL OVER YOUR CLOTHES.
THE MIRROR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND SO IS THE INSIDE OF THE COMPACT. DON\'T LET THE PHOTOS FOOL YOU, IT DEFINITELY SHINES
IT SNAPS CLOSED VERY WELL. TO OPEN THE POWDER AREA YOU CAN EITHER PUSH DOWN ON IT OR SLIDE IT OVER A BIT. OCCASSIONALLY, YOU NEED T SLIDE IT BACK TO GET THE INSIDE TO STAY CLOSED. 99% OF THE TIME IT JUST SNAPS CLOSED.
IT IS A WONDERFUL OLD COMPACT THAT YOU WOULD ENJOY OWNING. ON THE BACK THERE LOOKS LIKE TWO SMALL SMUDGES THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED OFF BUT I AM GOING TO LEAVE THAT UP TO THEBUYER. THEY ARE REALLY VERY MINIMAL.
(IF YOU GO TO ESTY, YOU WILL SEE SOMEONE HASA SIMILARCOMPACT UP FOR SALE AT WELL OVER $200.00)
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO offerDING. I HAVE DONE MY BEST IN DESCRIBING THIS COMPACT, SO WHAT YOU SEE, IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.
I HAVE A GOOD RATING ON AND HAVE BEEN SELLING FOR A LONG TIME.
THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY LISTING.
