Vintage finger ring compact with red cheap glass cabochons, c.1930 dance compact

cheap Here's an elegant finger ring compact dating from about 1930. The metal is appears to be brass or brass plated and there's an ornate "grill" attached to the lid (it's a separate piece). The lid is set with 4 small and 1 large opaque, bright red glass cabochons. Inside is a powder well with a lid that opens to re-fill the well with loose powder; there's a rotating cover through which to shake a little powder to use on your puff. The bottom of the piece has a pattern of tiny diamonds and straight lines. The compact is 2" in diameter; the chain is 4-1/4" long (5-3/8" with the ring). It's in very good condition with no dents or rust, a few very tiny dark spots, and minimal signs of wear, consistent with age and normal use.
