This vintage Evans compact is baby blue in color with a silver mesh lower area. Inside is a mirror in extremely good condition, no age spotting that you'd normally see with mirrors this old. There is also the "powder puff". The only powder remaining is residue.
The top is blue enamel with a pair of lovebirds sitting on a tree branch. There are some spots visible. I don't know if the 'spots" are rust or something else but I was able to pop a couple of them off with my nail. I don't want to get too involved with that because I don't want to take a chance of damaging it. Maybe something like 'Goof-Off" or one of the other cleaning products would work, but I don't have any available so will leave that to the next owner.
The base is a flexible silver mesh material. There are no missing pieces and it is still securely attached to the top.
It measures 2 inches across the top and is 1/2 inch tall. The hinge and closure work perfectly. The top and base edge has some patina that I will leave for the buyer to see.
The Evans hallmark would be above the latch, but it is rubbed in the area where it is located. Researching this, I did find one other (with an asking price of just under one hundred dollars) that clearly shows the hallmark in the exact place where this one is rubbed. I'm asking much less for mine because of the spots on the top and because I'm leaving them for the next owner to either remove or leave them as is.
Delivery will be from Nevada using USPS First Class mail. Buyer to pay $5.50 delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING depends on the country. Buyer must contact seller for shipping quote before making purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
To avoid excess shipping charges, please contact seller for combined shipping charges if multiple purchases are desired.
All items in my listings come from estate sales, garage sales, or various auctions. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
