Lot 456

Lot Description

Early twentieth century 9ct gold small powder compact, of plain circular form with inset hinged cover opening to reveal a mirror to the reverse.  Hallmarked Henry Matthews, Birmingham 1919.  Diameter measures 35 mm, gross weight 11.5 grams.

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

The compact displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  There are some deeper scratches and nicks visible and a couple of minor surface dints.  The minor dints are mainly visible around the rim, in the area where the clasp closes, so they have probably been caused from the pressure of opening and closing.  The hinges are in good working order.  Some slight rubbing but hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
