Vintage Elgin Elginite Art Deco Compact Vanity Purse.  Fabulous Vintage Elgin Elginite Art Deco Compact Vanity Purse. Made of enameled and chrome. Measures approximately 3" x 2 1/2". Closure is in working order. It snaps shut. Some enamel is missing. It is missing the insert that would have held the powder puff. See photos for condition.  It has a wonderful enameled Art Deco design done with a beautiful green enameling of what looks to be the Trylon and Perisphere of the 1939 NY Worlds Fair design. So pretty! After examining this case and looking up the manufacturer, Elginite, E.A.M, which is embossed on the back of the case, I believe this compact was created as a souvenir for the 1939 NY Worlds Fair. The enamel design depicting the Trylon and Perisphere brings me to this very possible conclusion. It will be carefully wrapped, packaged and shipped right away to you.
