Day 275 of 2024

I would ask "what is it?" for this item, but I looked it up today

 and thought I'd tell you what I found out. 

It measures about two  inches square-ish. 

It is a powder compact with a small mirror. 

It appears to be pre-1930 

so it is likely to have belonged to Fireball's grandmother. 

There are two wire loops near the top 

which seem to be for putting the compact on a chain 

to wear around the neck. 

The pink paint on the back is fairly chipped up 

so I suspect it was well used and loved. 

If you have any more information on pieces like this

 or have one of your own, I'd love to hear about it.
