Vintage
Ladies' Seaqueen
Make-up Compact


The Seaqueen Compact was made by Richards, Boggs and King, Inc. and featured a lightweight  powder made from magnesium found in the sea.  It is deep red in color and appears to be made of some type of plastic.  It has a mirror on the top half and a space for the powder and puff on the bottom half.  

I was unable to find another compact like this and there was not much info available on the company that made it.  They seem to have been in operation from the late 1930's until the end of the 1940's and they made many different types of items, including swimming caps, garment protectors and snap fasteners.

This compact is pre-owned and appears to have been used.  There is no make-up but the puff is present.  It measures 5" across.  The mirror has some darkened spots and there are a few small chips on the outside of the compact.

It comes in the original box with the original insert.

Please see all pictures, as they are part of the description.  All antiques/collectibles are lightly cleaned and thoroughly inspected prior to photographing. I do not attempt thorough cleaning or stain removal (unless otherwise noted in the individual listing) and I do document any damage or imperfections I come across.  Antiques and collectibles are sold “as is” and, while I do accept returns, I cannot issue a full refund if an item is returned altered.

I am open to reasonable offers and, in most cases, I can combine shipping on multiple items.

International Shipping

I am unable to offer free international shipping but I do participate in the Global Shipping Program.  If the listing indicates "free shipping" or a flat-rate amount, that pertains only to the domestic shipping cost from the item location to the Global Shipping Distribution Center.  

Please note, due to the newly implemented Ebay Managed Payments program, some countries are not covered under the Global Shipping Program.
