1950's/1960's Stratton "Initial" Compact (sold)

This is a really clever idea from Birmingham  compact manufacturer's Stratton as you can personalise it by simply moving through the alphabet until your desired initial appears!  The compact is in good order with its original hanging tag.  However the mirror inside appears streaked and it is not possible to remove the streaks, they are regular and do not look nasty and it is still possible to see your reflection.  The compact is unused with original puff and sifter still inside.  It is finished with engine turned engraving on goldtone.  There is a minute dark spot on the front but this does not detract from the compact's appeal.  A great collectable, or as it says on the original label " a personal gift ".  Size is approx 7.5cms/3ins diameter.
