VINTAGE ART DECO STYLE CARRYALL COMPACT HARD PLASTIC PURSE WITH BRASS ACCENTS & CHAIN HANDLE

***PLEASE NOTE - I TESTED THIS TO SEE IF IT WAS BAKELITE AS OTHERS LISTED IT AS SUCH. I USED SIMICHROME & 409 SPRAY - NEITHER TURNED THE Q-TIP YELLOW. I ALSO DID A HEAT TEST TO SEE IF IT SMELLED LIKE FORMALDEHYDE, WHICH IT DID NOT- I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS ONE IS BAKELITE*** 

I BELIEVE THIS IS MADE OF LUCITE OR AN EARLY PLASTIC

METAL PARTS APPEAR TO BE BRASS

THE TOP LID OPENS TO REVEAL A MIRROR ON THE LID & TWO HINGED DOORS

THE TOP DOOR IS A LOOSE POWDER COMPACT WHICH STILL HAS SOME POWDER, POWDER SCREEN & PUFF

THERE IS A SLOT AT THE TOP FOR A TUBE OF LIPSTICK

THE OTHER EMPTY COMPARTMENT WAS FOR CIGARETTES.

CIRCA 1940'S POSSIBLY 1950'S?

MEASURES APPROX. 6 1/4” L X 3 1/4” W X 1 ¼” DEEP

CHAIN IS 5 ½” DOUBLED OVER

CONDITION IS PRETTY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. LID AND INNER DOOR HINGES ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. MIRROR HAS JUST A LITTLE DAMAGE AT THE TOP & JUST A TAD ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. BRASS PARTS HAVE MINOR SCUFFS, SCRATCHES AND DISCOLORATION. THE PLASTIC HAS NO CHIPS AND SHOWS MINOR SIGNS OF AGE/USAGE. THERE IS A MONOGRAM ON THE FRONT “CC” (WHICH I LIKE TO THINK STANDS FOR COCO CHANEL LOL)

ALL IN ALL, A VERY NICE HARD TO FIND VINTAGE PURSE!
