Art Deco TANGO COMPACTS, ART DECO CELLULOID RETICULES & VANITY COMPACTS are as much loved by collectors today as they were by the flappers in the 1920's & 30's. This is definitely the most prolific period in terms of compact design, from delicate celluloid reticules to bold geometric tango compacts, all are equally coveted by collectors today.
