Vintage Powder Compact Vogue Vanities Minstrels Jazz Players Circa 1940

This vintage powder compact was made in England by Vogue Vanities and dates circa 1940. The compact is made of gold tone metal with enamelled cover depicting a quartet of minstrels playing banjo, flute, saxophone and accordion. The lid is further decorated with musical notes, little dog and a bird. The case has firm hinge and secure catch and opens to reveal a perfectly clear and reflective framed glass mirror under the lid. The interior polished gold tone hinged door bears the Vogue Vanities name and the powder well in the base has the original sifter but is missing the puff. This charming and highly collectable powder compact is offered in very good condition. There is no wear or loss to the lid design, no metal tarnish and no dents or dings to the case. The compact comes with its original Vogue Vanities marked felt slip case.
