Stratton Compacts Page 1
Stratton compacts were designed
and produced in Birmingham, England by Laughton & Sons Ltd. from
1923. Some of the earliest Stratton compacts carry the name "Stratnoid",
which was also the trade name for the company's knitting needles. In
1940, four of their five factories were destroyed during World War
II. By 1946, they were up and running again. In 1997, this company
was taken over by Cork International. Although they are still
making compacts with the Stratton name, they are no longer
manufactured in Britain. The compacts I am carrying were all made
prior to 1997.
These are my favorite compacts.
There are so many designs to choose from and all are well made and classy.
The compacts I am offering for sale on this page are all Stratton and are
all in excellent condition. They may have been used previously - I will let
you know that in my description - but they are still in excellent to
pristine shape with intact mirrors and are suitable for personal use or
gift-giving
Guys - you can't go wrong giving a
gorgeous compact as a gift to your lady!!
