Blue enamel. Centre, Art Deco design of sky with planet; words “A Century of Progress”. Original powder puff and mirror. Believe this is chrome, as so much chrome from the era. Bracelet still very nice and stiff, so you could wear it still. Showing tiny bit of scuffing after 87 years. Would be nice addition to any collection Very collectible from a compact point as well as World fair point of view. Happy to answer questions, and hear your offers. Thanks!

everis13 Oh wow 🤩 I love that! Could you post pictures of the area under the puff pad? Do you think it could be refilled?

gibriana @everis13 hi there, I wish I could say yes with confidence; however I don’t think that would be an easy thing to accomplish. It is such a sweet little thing! Thanks for your interest.

gibriana @bradshawzgurl thanks so much! Isn’t it amazing that this quality of an item was a souvenir you could buy? What are we making for souvenirs now that will last almost a century?

bradshawzgurl @gibriana I know right it’s crazy I am so into antique items especially compact and all that sort of stuff I just am obsessed with them but unfortunately due to my situation I can’t afford them that much single mom on disability really really sucks Because I can’t collect the stuff like I used to

gibriana @bluessister That is fantastic. Did you grow up with a lot of Art Deco stuff? I know it was such a huge fashion inspiration for decades after.
