Vintage Compact Minaudiere Lipstick Lighter Trompe L'oeil Camera 1960's Unused
For sale an rare and unusual figural Compact in the shape of a photographic camera. I do not know where this was made, most likely the USA, circa 1960s. It is in it's original black silk faille pouch & looks unused. The handle on top and small change compartment is not distressed.
Inside the pouch is a plastic hair comb. The camera compact has a lipstick holder, lighter disguised as the film reels & a hidden compartment in the base for cigarettes or stash. All parts are very clean showing only age patina & a little wear to the finish. The interior of the black slip case is still a vibrant hot pink. The pouch has a couple of small dirty marks, and possibly could be cleaned.
The only apparent signs of wear is on the "aperture" ring where you lift up lens to reveal the powder compartment and mirror. There is no powder puff, but the mirror is good condition. Case measures 5" x 3 1/4" x 1 3/4. Camera measures 4 1/4'' x 3 1/4" x 1 1/2".
