Great color on that compact, wkrp,

What is the metal?

"In 1928 a new cosmetics line, ‘La Jaynees’, was introduced and like the TreVere line it, too, was trademarked. Marketed as ‘the spirit of Springtime and Youth’ the line included, poudre toilette, talc, cream, rouge and compacts. While the ‘TreVere’ range continued to be sold it seems to have been completely replaced by ‘La Jaynees’ by 1929. Surviving ‘La Jaynees’ vanity cases include one with a striking red, painted, finish which was probably manufactured by The Pallas Manufacturing Company. There is at least one simple gold-tone case that dates to the early 1930s."

"This is a stunning example of an early La Jaynees case,
