Very nice. Does it have hallmarks, makers mark?
No marks that I can see. I will look again.
It looks a nice quality compact, have you looked inside on the bottom, usually the mark would be at the bottom, or maybe on the clasp? Good luck.
I will look tonight and place a response here. Thank you!
No problem, I'll be interested to see if you find anything.
It will probably be very late this evening but I promise you I will look. Thank you for the interest.
I could not stand the suspense. It is signed LAM and the initials have an arrow going through them. I never noticed it before.
Well that's good news, you have some info to work with. I'm off to bed, I'll look and see your post tomorrow, hopefully you'll have solved it.:-)
It's called a wristlet and it looks as if this one is silver. It's very pretty!
The hallmark sounds familiar too. I'll see what I can find.
I believe this is an Elgin, marked EAM and is silver. It looks like one made by Elgin too, the same elgin as the watch company. They did quality work and this is very possibly from early 1900's.
There are probably more markings yet hard to see or just worn down. They've been there for quite some time ;)
Thank you! I could not find anything so you gave me a starting point!!!
Well done shareurpassion , I was very interested in this piece, I have a few compacts myself, nothing similiar to this. You can see its quality.
Without you I probably never would have look again. Thank you peasejean 55! Thank you Shareurpassion! If you feel this is who made the compact please let me know and I will do the mystery solved. I looked at some after Shareurpassions comment and they do look very similar!
Vintagelamp, I do believe it is Elgin. It's got that classic look about it! They made everything so well.
I am so glad you came here to CW and joined us! You have so many outstanding pieces. And the photos are just so...dreamy I guess you could say!!!
Peasejean, thank you for such a nice compliment! I appreciate that ;)
Thank you! I love you all already! I will probably slow down a little when the weather gets better, but, right now, I am having a great time "sharing my passion!"
