On offer is a beautiful older than vintage compact made circa 1940 by Elgin American of Elgin, Illinois.  It is very well made and in very good condition with a full intact mother-of-pearl finish, clear mirror, and intact snap and hinges.  Very clean--no dirt, staining, rust, or corrosion.

This fine compact is pre-owned, but gently used.  Please review the foregoing description and photographs carefully.  I gently clean my sale items; however, I do not alter or modify them in any way.

 

I am committed to displaying and describing my sale items precisely to the best of my knowledge and ability.  I rate the condition of an item on a scale of poor to excellent.  I factor in age when making this assessment.  The older an item, the more acceptable are wear and minor flaws.  These judgments are my own, based my knowledge and experience.  If you believe I am in error, please let me know.  I want my listings to be as accurate as possible.

 

Please note that I relist items not paid for in full within 48 hours.

 

I do not profit from shipping charges.  I ship in well-padded envelopes and boxes, and try hard to keep shipping costs down, using the least expensive delivery service that allows me to ship items securely--generally USPS Ground Advantage or Priority Mail.  Items weighing a pound or more ship Federal Express Ground.  If I can ship multiple items in one parcel to the same buyer at the same time, I charge one shipping cost, and credit the buyer for any excess pre-paid shipping charges.  If you prefer expedited shipping or that I use a specific shipper, please let me know in advance so that I can quote you a cost.

 

Unfortunately, I only sell in the United States. The cost to ship outside of the United States is just too expensive.

 

I do not warrant my items.  They are sold as-is; however, if you are dissatisfied with anything you buy from me, for any reason, please return it intact and in its original condition within 30 days of receipt.  I do not want you to keep something you do not want.  I refund only the cost of the item; I do not refund shipping charges. You are responsible for paying all return shipping costs.

 

NOTE:  The Mad Collector store stocks a wide range of unique and interesting curated collectibles, and I am adding new items all of the time. However, please be aware that I sell on multiple platforms, so if you see something you like, grab it before it sells elsewhere.  If you are looking for useable and collectible fishing tackle, Disney and Disney-related collectibles, or Hard Rock Café memorabilia, please visit my Fishing Tackle Guy and Main Street Disneyana stores on Etsy and Ebay.
