Am guessing it's just a typo, but "Vauderbilt" should be Vanderbilt. Unfortunately, according to a website on cosmetics/compact mfgrs., there is "no definitive information" on Lucretia Vanderbilt. However, I found a few dealer listings of Vanderbilt items dated c. 1920's-30's.

Hi bigrig,

I believe you meant Lucretia Vanderbilt as PBK mentioned. Below are links to a few Lucretia Vanderbilt items. I couldn't find anything with the dimensions you gave. Could yours be some type of lipstick holder? Any chance of posting a picture?
