The reverse carries Stratton's engine-turned chevron pattern. Inside: the original mirror and the original powder puffer, still marked \"Stratton \/ Made in England\" on the fabric. Original face powder remains in the puffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinge and clasp are both functioning. Some light surface scuffing to the gold-tone back, consistent with use. Mirror shows minor age spotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSits well on a dressing table as a display piece as much as a functional compact. The butterfly panel reads as a small artwork at this scale. Works with other mid-century vanity objects — perfume bottles, trinket dishes, powder jars — or alone on a small tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Powder compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1950s–1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gold-tone metal, enamel painted lid panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 7 × 7 × 1 cm (diameter × height)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: Yes — \"Stratton \/ Made in England\" on interior puffer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Mid-century, figural butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery Good · Hinge and clasp functioning, mirror intact with minor age spotting, original puffer present with original powder, light scuffing to exterior back.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stratton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53887950684497,"sku":"RR-0224","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/2026-05-27_21.05.36.jpg?v=1779914991","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/stratton-vintage-gold-tone-powder-compact-butterfly-mid-century-signed-england","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
