| DORSET FIFTH AVENUE - This is a Goldtone, loose powder compact. This Compact measures 1 3/8" Square x 1/4"D. It is the same basic design as the Dorset compact on page 47 of "Collector's Encyclopedia of Compacts Carryalls & Face Powder Boxes by LAURA M. Mueller, Volume II. The Design on this Compact is an enameled 5 point star enameled in red, blue, yellow, green and white. Each point has a symbol and they appear to be a sword, horsehead, bird in flight, (don't know) and a martini glass. I cannot determine the center symbol either. The inside mirror is broken with 3 cracks but all there. The puff is missing and yet there is still some powder in the case. The golden cover of the loose powder is signed in script DORSET and Fifth Avenue. There is a logo of a victorian man and woman. The overall condition is good, some wear to the outside. However, since this was definitely used, its condition is better than one would expect for some 50-60 years of age. Priced accordingly. |
