The puff. The sifter. All still here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Stratton compact is distinguished first by its engine-turning and second by what comes with it. This one comes with everything except the outer case: the original star-embossed cream fabric slip with the Stratton script logo in silver foil at the centre; the original pink powder puff with the Stratton script logo printed in gold on the face; the original mesh sifter in the base. Three accessories, all original, all present. For a compact without its retail box, that is a complete interior story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exterior face carries Stratton's basket weave engine-turning: tight interlocking rectangular blocks, each panel filled with fine parallel line engraving running at alternating angles to create a woven textile effect across the entire silver-tone surface. It is one of the more labour-intensive patterns in the Stratton range, the geometry precise and the depth of the engraving giving the surface a quality that catches light differently in every plane. The push-piece clasp is gold-tone, a deliberate two-tone pairing against the silver face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior of the lid carries the full Stratton trademark cartouche in raised gold: the lady-at-her-mirror logo with Stratton script below, the whole emblem centred on the warm gold-tone interior lining. The full-width mirror is present. The hinge is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Stratton, Made in England; full trademark cartouche (lady-at-mirror logo and Stratton script) to interior lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Large circular powder compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior: Basket weave engine-turning across full face, silver-tone; gold-tone push-piece clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Full-width mirror to lid, mesh sifter to base; gold-tone interior lining with raised Stratton trademark cartouche\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Original Stratton star-embossed cream fabric slip (Stratton foil logo to face), original pink powder puff (Stratton gold script logo to face), original mesh sifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot included: Outer retail box\/case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Silver-tone exterior face in good order.
