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.
