Djer-Kiss was quite a famous company back prior to, and during, WW1.  This compact bars thier name on front, and I believe is from 1919, but will say circa 1920 to be safe.  Hinge works perfectly.  As is my normal policy, I did not attempt to clean this piece, but leave that up to the buyer to decide to do.  Would clean up beautifully though,  and I'd be willing to do it upon request after purchase is made.
