DATING
YOUR STRATTON COMPACT:
*
If your compact has a self-opening inner lid, it was made after
1948.
*
If your compact is convertible or takes cream powder, it dates from
at least the 1950's
* If
your compact has the famous "Compact in Hand" logo on the inner lid,
it was made from 1950 to 1970. The "Compact in Hand" mark indicates
the compact has a self-opening inner lid. This was patented in
1948 and is unique to Stratton compacts. It helped prevent damage
to fingernails
See the
About Compacts page for tips
on caring for your compact and replacing missing parts, etc
