Vintage Stratton Novelty Fob Watch Powder Compact with Original Box – Rhinestone Wreath – Gold Tone Convertible Compact – Made in England

A beautifully preserved vintage Stratton powder compact presented in one of the company’s most distinctive novelty designs. Crafted to resemble an elegant gentleman’s fob watch, this charming compact dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s and comes complete with its original Stratton presentation box.

The satin gold-tone finish is enhanced by an exquisite wreath of sparkling clear rhinestones, giving the compact the appearance of a fine piece of jewellery as well as a practical vanity accessory. The decorative bow and suspension loop complete the pocket watch illusion, making this an eye-catching addition to any vintage compact collection.

Opening the compact reveals a bright mirror, the original powder compartment and original sifter, all beautifully engineered with the quality that made Stratton one of Britain’s finest makers of luxury vanity accessories. The compact opens and closes securely, the mirror remains clear, and the decorative rhinestone wreath appears complete.

Novelty Stratton compacts were produced in far smaller numbers than their traditional round handbag compacts, making them increasingly sought after by collectors today. Complete examples with their original presentation boxes are becoming harder to find, particularly in such attractive condition.

This would make a wonderful addition to a vintage vanity collection, an elegant display piece, or a thoughtful gift for a collector of Stratton compacts or vintage British accessories.

Measures approximately 8 cm (3.15 inches) in diameter.

A striking and unusual Stratton design that beautifully captures the glamour and craftsmanship of a more elegant era.
