's another very collectible 1933 Chicago World's Fair Ladie's Compact. This one is VERY nice. It is rectangular and measures about 2 inches across and about 1 3/4 inches from top to bottom. It is composed of a silvertone metal with blue paint on the face and back. T is an art deco type 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 (unused). The top metal shiny flap flips down and t is rouge, another unused powder puff and a fine slip of paper to protect the rouge I guess. It doesn't look used at all. The front of the compact reads, "1933 A CENTURY OF PROGRESS CHICAGO" and has a picture of a planet on it. It's a beauty......See pictures. I am listing quite a few compacts this week.
