🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Makeup compact

[Older The Better]

Not necessarily a what is it, but looking for some help trying to see if I can find who might have made it and when. Been searching combinations of makeup compact, vintage, flowers, radial… any other ideas, maybe a name for the pattern or a style like art deco that I can search? Or if someone already knows, even better.

Nice find! I’ve dug a few myself. Looks like art deco to me.

I would call this piece 'art nouveau'. Deco is much more linear and structured in direct opposition to art nouveau.

From the internet:
Art Nouveau features organic, nature-inspired designs, while Art Deco is known for its angular, modern lines.

Thanks for the ideas I’ll have to search with those terms. It was a heck of a signal with the new detector I had hoped maybe there were some coins or something inside. I even tried to record opening it but somehow i didn’t hit record… that was a bit of a bummer but oh well

I bet it's from the 1960's.

Maybe I’m looking too far back, just going by other items I dig that seem to hover around 1930 but there’s been a house almost continuously on the site since the early 1900’s… there was a gap in the late 40’s where the original burnt and a guy lived in a trailer until a new and coincidentally identical house was moved on site.

These loose powder compacts were so pretty! Great find! Elizabeth Arden maybe? I googled "powder and loose powder deco compacts" and the Elizabeth Arden company came up with similar styles.

What are the letters/words appearing between 12 and 1 in the top of the second picture? Also are there any other words or a markings?

Sorry I didn’t realize this thread was still getting attention took an Andres pencil to the area looks like just “Pat Pending”… in my experience there’s usually more than that but I didn’t see anything anywhere else

Thought that might be the "case" - just hoping maybe there was more.
