Paul Edmund Flato (1900-1999) was a popular and renown American jeweler based in New York City from the 1920's to the 1940's. Considered the first celebrity jeweler, he was well known for important jewelry and was an early proponent of whimsical pieces. His long list of movie star clients included Greta Garbo, Mae West, Rita Hayworth, Joan Crawford, Carmen Miranda, Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn and Gloria Vanderbilt- many of whom wore his pieces on screen. The compact measures 2" x 2.5". Check out the 3 other Paul Flato compacts that I currently have listed on eBay. All reasonable offers considered. NY buyers pay sales tax.
