    Description

    This is a lovely mid-century Elgin American carry-all compact, circa 1950's.
    This has never been used.  I listed it under the USED category only because it is pre-owned.
    The compact comes in a black cloth carrying case with a handle.  The back of the carrying case has a snap compartment holding a celluloid comb.
    The compact features an enameled surface with a basket of flowers.  Inside is a mirror, a compartment for the pressed powder (including the powder puff), a compartment for rouge and a tube for lipstick.  Each compartment lid features a gazelle theme.
    The compact measures 4 1/2 in. x 2 1/2 in. front to back, and 1 inch high.
    The only sign of age on this item is a few spots on the enamel where it meets the gold tone rim.  These show in my photos.
