Short lunch hunt at repeat site

[Nathan W]

Found this what looks to be a compact case maybe for a woman. It says made in USA on back. It has the same style artwork as the cigarette case I found couple weeks ago.

Nice find, pretty ornate cover. Back then a compact case would have been a woman’s. Nowadays it could belong to anybody. 😂

Nice one! Good shape, not too dinged up

Nice hunt! That would look good in a showcase next to the cigarette case.

Unfortunately that’s true.

How old you think? 20s/30s?

It has an Art Deco look to it; mainly due to the geometric lines in the center and the design of the flower stems. I’d guess 1935-1940; the later part of the Deco period.

That’s great. I figured pre 1950s for sure. I also have a lighter that’s art deco after some research , it was popular among WW2 soldiers , thanks for the reply

I agree with Blackfoot58.... very late 1930's
