Description: Dress clip, unsigned. This is a fascinating and rare piece of jewelry history. This is a compact, originally filled with loose powder make-up, the lid is enameled in pea green. The compact is a surprise, it's equipped with a clip on the back, turning into a great piece of vintage jewely, a dress clip! Compact opens from the back, the clip is attached to the bottom of the compact. The silvering on the mirror inside is mostly gone, as is all the make-up. A bright gold powder puff is still inside. Shown in Costume Jewelry Variations by Marion Cohen, page 31.
Size: 1 5/8" dia.
Condition: Very good outside, note missing elements on inside
