FREE: STRATTON ENGLISH COMPACT VERY VINTAGE FIVE COMPARTMENTS

The listing, STRATTON ENGLISH COMPACT VERY VINTAGE FIVE COMPARTMENTS has ended.

This is a Stratton Compact that my late mother used to use many decades ago. It has not been cleaned. I did not wish to destroy the patina, so please be aware that it will arrive with the dust and grime of age. I'll leave cleaning to the person who buys this, in order to preserve the finish.

It has five compartments inside. One small circular one and four others that radiate outward from the inner circle. One is larger than the rest, but all are fairly small. The compact is 3" in diameter and has no mirror. The outside is graced with decorative flowers on the front and the back has the Stratton logo and the "Made in England" mark.

Please remember that this will arrive uncleaned. The finish is not in new condition; there are a few blemishes due to age, but it is still very beautiful. The compact is very sturdy and appears in good working order. Please check the pictures. The scanner makes the red appear almost pink, but that isn't true; this is a deep, rich burgundy red with lovely flowers. If you google "vintage Stratton compact" you'll find a few of this era, and they command decent prices.

Mom used this to store blush powder, regular powder and such. It is made of a nice finished metal and weighs 2.2 ounces on my postal scale. I'm continuing to clean out boxes from my garage, whenever I get the energy, and finding some lovely things of hers. My mother died in 2011 at 91.
