Here we have a boxed compact by Stratton of Mayfair with flying ducks over reads in a soft case 8cm diameter
This compacts face is in excellent condition just a tiny nick to the perimeter.
The mirror is intact and the rear has a all over star design engine turned face which dates it to 1965-70 and a sure sign of quality. The sprung thumb catch works perfectly
