£100-150
Condition:
The main body of the compact is held on the square base by Blu-Tack at the moment. Missing a screw probably. The mirror section on the interior has become detached from the lid and the glass is also held in place with Sellotape at the moment. There appears to be something missing from the centre of the compact probably the lid and also where the powder sat. There is a small hole/damage to the underside of the base rim of the compact. There is a small nick to the silver by the hinge on the arm. The black enamel appears to be in good order. Apparently no full set of hallmarks just part marks. The green baize on the underside of the base probably later added.
