THANKS FOR VISITING! PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, AS IT IS QUITE DETAILED! DESCRIPTION : Up for auction is this lovely cobalt blue guilloche enamel compact from my personal collection. It is probably from the 1920s/30s and it is marked "Sterling Silver" in the middle on the inside of the base where the powder goes (see pics 6 & 7). Also marked inside the base near the hinge is the number "112" and below that is "935", as well as other markings which are so small I cannot make them out. If you enlarge pic 6 you may be able to make out some of these markings. I've seen some compacts which look very similar to this that are marked "Austria" but I do not see it marked on this one. The compact is very slim and it measures 2 3/8" in diameter.This compact is really pretty and is in good vintage condition, but it does have some minor issues: There is a very small chip in the enamel on the edge of the lid on the left side about midway down - if it were a clock it would be in the 9 o'clock position. (See pic 8) There is also a very small chip in the enamel underneath on the edge of the base at about the 2 o'clock position on a clock. (See pic 9)There are some very minor scratches on the top. The bottom of the compact, however, has scratches which are a bit more significant and obvious, which is not uncommon with these types of compacts, especially considering the age. I think you may be able to see the scratches on the bottom if you enlarge pic 5. As you can tell from pic 6 the mirror is spotted and very cloudy.The hinge is tight and the lid closes shut and stays closed, but does not "snap" shut tightly.Overall, this is a lovely compact! I HATE parting with it, and was reluctant to do so, but I'm trying to downsize some of my collections and, like a lot of people these days, I can use the extra cash! Thank you so much for visiting and for reading this very detailed description! I don't think I've left anything out, but if I discover another detail I will add it immediately and make note of it.
