Makeup compact?

[SCDigginWithAK]

I am positive it's a makeup compact but I need info on who made it and what years/era it's from. It says Fabulous Beauty Preparation.

Wow - this is one of the few finds I can't find anything on green808.

Not a compact. It's a thin covering like old sardine cans. Makeup companies used them as well as food for camping and such. Probably made from cheap metal like aluminum

I've dug similar lids from ponds makeup to sardines. They are old. They were used kinda like disposables, on the go type a thing

Bingo you nailed it but here's the problem I found a bottom to it. Possibly the bottom any ideas?

See what I mean. It fits perfectly is it not related?

 

[Bryanhashemi]

It is related. It's small for in the go use. Traveling and so forth

Here's the back I cleaned it up.

Did some research and it says the "back" was the lid for a vanishing cream from Pond's Extract Company. So you were right about that thanks.

Is the metal thin or are you able to bend it a little (don't break it). But my guess would be you are able too. Those were not made from real solid metal

It's thin and yes bendable. Sadly I know this from digging I accidentally bent it at the side

Found these on the Internet.

That one in that pic just posted is a screw top. I would bet the one you found isn't a screw top. More like a clamped lid.
