This is a beautiful example of a classic Stratton of England convertible compact. Stratton is the gold standard for vintage vanity items, known for their superior British craftsmanship and patented designs. This specific “Convertible” model was designed to accommodate both loose powder and solid “pans” of makeup (like Max Factor Creme Puff), which were popular in the mid-to-late 20th century.
