Hi there, thanks for the interest in my auctions. This is a rare item and an absolutely must for any collector. These are getting rarer and rarer now, I’m not exactly sure how old it is, or what the exact term for the material is, all you experts will know a lot more than me, it looks and feel like leather, but can’t be sure. It is old and would be ideal for costume drama or for the collector, so grab it before someone else does, this will only increase in value as time goes on. I will be including a lovely dusky pink cotton pouch/bag for you to keep this in, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS NEW AND UNUSED, BUT THE COMPACT IS VERY MUCH OLD AND SHOWS SIGNS OF WEAR, UNFORTUNATELY too the mirror is looking a bit worse for wear, but I’ve seen a lot of compacts in my time, and I haven’t quite seen one like this, and great for the collector, so this would make an ideal gift for someone special, or just treat yourself. Please look at al the photos as you will receive the one in the photo. Please email if anything is puzzling you, as sometimes I list that quick i don’t always spot obvious mistakes, however once listed I prepare for posting so can’t usually answer specific questions. If you see a raffle ticket in the photo, sorry you haven’t won a prize, it’s just my filing system and helps me find your item quick, thanks for the understanding. Please take a look at my other auctions to see if there is anything else you fancy. International bidders please email before bidding to check P&P, many thanks, good luck and happy bidding.
