A lovely 1950s Stratton powder compact, complete with the post-1956 patented inner lid (Patent 764125). This is one of Stratton’s classic mid-century designs, made in England and known for its solid construction and reliable self-opening mechanism.
The compact opens to a gold-tone interior with the original mirror and the Stratton powder well, still holding its sifter and remnants of the original powder. The mirror shows gentle age, as expected for a mid-century piece, and the mechanism opens and closes smoothly. The exterior has light surface wear but still presents well with a clean and timeless mid-century look.
This compact is ideal for both mid century lovers and vintage makeup lovers, offering an authentic piece of vanity history that still displays beautifully. Perfect for photography styling, collectors, or adding to a curated vintage dressing table.
