's another very collectible 1933 Chicago World's Fair Ladie's Compact. This one is also VERY nice. It is rectangular and measures about 2 inches from top to bottom and 1 3/4 inches across. It is composed of a silvertone metal with black paint on the face and back. T is a decoration engraved on the back (see picture). It has a push-button closure which works fine. On the inside t is a section on the bottom that flips to the side and t is a powder puff inside (has rouge on it). The top metal shiny flap flips down and t is rouge, another powder puff (it also has rouge on it) and a fine slip of paper to protect the rouge I guess. The front of the compact reads, "CHICAGO 1833-1933 A CENTURY OF PROGRESS" and has a series of bars on it. It's another beauty......See pictures. I am listing quite a few compacts this week. I will combine shipping by weight for you.
