    Description

    Pre-owned.
    Vintage New Light brass powder compact with mirror
    There  is the engraving “New Light” on the bottom of the compact
    .  The New Light name dates it to the 1940’s, and since that time there is no reference to this company which presumably made these powder compacts.
    Inside the lid is a mirror and a compartment for powder with a spring up fitting.
    The hinge is tight and the closure snaps shut and works well.
    Compact opens and closes easily.
    The lid is beautifully embossed in a paisley design.  The bottom is in Art Decco stripes relief.
    Dimensions:
    2 1/8” x 1 3/4” x 3/8”.  Weighs approximately 1.8 oz  (51 gms)
    It's vintage, over 70 years old, and pre-owned, but still in great condition.  There are some issues:  There are a couple of tarnish marks on the brass, and the mirror backing is pretty much gone.  Could be restored.
    It has always been in a chemical, fragrance, smoke, and pet-free environment.
    I ship free within the USA on the same day as receiving payment, using recycled packaging materials whenever possible.
