When I was younger, my Mom would go to different antique stores and flea markets, and I would tag along with her. Since we would go shopping a lot I started to see over and over again these old compacts. I thought it would make going to the antique stores a little more exciting to start collecting something. So I started buying and collecting compacts. It's amazing how many there are out there. There is even books about collecting compacts.
Here is some from my collection.
One of my favorite is one by Richard Hudnut, where you open it and the mirror pops open. Love it!
It makes you think of where they came from and who they belonged to.
What a story they could tell!
