1930s Powder Compact


Bought off Bob, my favourite boot sale vendor. Neither of us knew what it was for, but I did a Google image search and found it is a 1930s powder compact for loose powder. It dispenses a small amount of powder when you turn the bar around. https://thevintagecompactshop.com/blogs/antique-and-collectible-history/zenette-compacts-history
