Vintage Volupte Compact
This item was my mother's who passed away in 1988
I have guesstimated the years but it could actually be older.
very difficult to find reference or Ads on the many creations by this Company. There certainly are
a great many variables and genius designs for their times.
This item was carried every where and shows the wear of being in a purse with scuffs to the outside and some rhinestones are missing.
all latches work, rouge powder still there all wee applicators are there - see photos
I do not know if these wee little vanity compacts could be restored to their original luster but would be wonderful if they could.
