Description

A scattering of stars across a golden disc, a pocket-sized sky with time written into its surface.

This vintage Stratton powder compact sets stars of differing sizes across a warm gold-tone lid. Some are outlined, others more finely worked, giving the simple circular form a lively celestial rhythm. The reverse carries a denser repeating star pattern, making the decoration something to enjoy on both sides.

Inside, a mirror sits above a hinged inner powder cover with Stratton branding and fine linear decoration. The compact is recorded by the seller as new old stock, but its unused status sits alongside visible age-related finish damage. Those changes are part of the listing, not hidden behind the NOS designation.

The Particulars

  • Maker: Stratton
  • Type: Round powder compact with mirror and hinged inner cover
  • Design: Scattered star motifs on the lid, repeating star pattern on the reverse
  • Finish: Gold-tone metal; exact composition unconfirmed
  • Branding: Stratton mark on the inner cover

The close-ups show surface scratches and rubbed areas on the lid, darkened marks around the rim and hinge, and small dark patches of finish loss inside the powder-compartment rim. Please study these photographs carefully. New old stock does not mean pristine, and no precise manufacture date is claimed.

A star-strewn vanity relic with its history left visible, gathered for a keeper who values character alongside ornament. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
