blackinton compact

By Susan L. Cox, 29 November, 2013
Description

R. Blackinton & Co. Sterling Silver Powder Compact.  Also marked Cartier.  Good condition with some minor dings and wear.  Compact opens and closes as it should and the mirror is still very nice.   Monogrammed with initials "SB."  This compact actually belonged to the Actress Shirley Booth and there is written proof of such from a family member.  Am interested in the value as a Compact and possibly a value with the Provenance of the owner.
