RARE STERLING SILVER ENVELOPE COMPACT / CIRCA 1927/30 / made by Louis Rosen for Dunhill / These sterling cases were in the form of miniature stamped envelopes and were made as compacts, card cases, clock cases and cigarette cases & had a genuine US postage stamp under lacquer. The purchaser of a case would have their name and address engraved on the case. This is a rare unsold example waiting to be engraved. The compact opens by lightly pressing under the envelope flap. Inside the compact is a powder sifter & puff & a mirror. The mirror has slight wear and is original. The compact is fine with a great hinge. The US stamp is fine. This can be be hand-engraved for a collector or left as is in any collection of rare cases. SEE LAST IMAGE OF THIS TYPE OF CASE IN AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK. <> BURTON BROOK FARM ANTIQUES
