    Thank you for this video. Would you do a video on the various clasps and mechanisms? Though I feel you've probably covered them all anyway.
    Thank you very much.

    This was very interesting especially for a new collector. It was not at all amateurish. Thank you!

    This was very helpful, thank you! Have you found any puffs that fit the thin loose powder compacts when they don't have the original? All the ones I have found are too thick for the compact to close.

    I just found this video - I have I guess what would be a princess, with the stars on the base and on the front is a silver relief of a lady and man in a drawing room in old fashion attire. It is so detailed, and I only found out it was silver when I cleaned it, though it is not marked. It was my grandmother’s.

      I found a big cup at the thrift store about an hour ago. On it was a few vintage decor puns and a straton compact in fantastic condition. They glued it on there. The cup was $2

    Great information! Is there a list of which compacts are useable now? And also, which current compressed powders can be fit in there (I'm in the U.S)? Thank you in advance. I love your site!

      Max Factor creme puff fits most standard size compacts. Also Rimmel stay matte. And of course the loose powder ones take any loose powder if they have a sifter.

      @@brilynn7357 The Rimmel Bronzers also fit, and I believe NYX bronzers do as well. Sadly, I have yet to find blush or highlighter that is the correct size.

    I bought a compact because it was pretty, it has stratton on the top of the mirror, its top painted blue with a small silver forget me not transfer design on the top, there's no thumb catch, it has its original sifter and a floral puff, like the quirky one you showed, it also has a blue back, not plain gold like the ones you have shown? Wondering what year it could be? Edit: I think the bottom is painted as it's flaking off where as the top looks new

    Great video! I have a compact that's a similar shape to the princess, is a convertible, with some birds on a pale blue background, tiny chevrons on the back and the stratton name. Any idea what year it might be from?

    • @phoebexsp122
      @phoebexsp122 ปีที่แล้ว

      chevrons indicate 70s-80s i believe!

    I have found one of these compacts today, it was my grandmother's. Bit the style is not shown anywhere. Is there a way to have someone look at the compact I have? It's pretty old and it good condition. I'm very curious about it.

    How do you safely clean these compacts? I have one with musicians on the front and I don’t know what type of metal it is.

    I'm guessing first you tell it that it looks pretty. Then if all goes well you ask if to go out for coffee. 👌🏻
