Found a Schildkraut petit point compact with its original hand-written factory slip still inside — 2.5 days, 9450 stitches, no printed sticker in sight. Belonged to my mother. Rare surviving piece.

Today in vintage vs. new (mew?): If you can’t get your paws on a vintage Paul Flato kitty compact, Paul and Joe’s upcoming one is pretty close. 😻💚 #vintagecompact #makeupmuseum

I’m not that into Disney but I have to admit this vintage Mickey Mouse compact is kinda cute...as well as unaffordable. Winning bid was $600! 😱💸#vintagemakeup #vintagecompact

A little #mermaidmonday action - I am so happy to finally have this Revlon She Shells compact in the Museum’s collection! I found the octopus earlier this year, now I just need the turtle. 😆🧜‍♀️#makeupmuseum #vintagecompact

#ArtIsEverywhereMW Makeup is an art form, of course, but sometimes makeup as art gets more literal. ❤️💄🎨#makeuphistory #vintagecompact #arthistory #MuseumWeek2021 #makeupmuseum

#Museum30, day 11: This 1940s Volupte compact with a #poppy design by Richard T. Gaige is so rare that I’ve never seen it for sale, only in a compact collecting guide! #VintageCompact

#Museum30, day 24: Back to the 30s again with this Pum-kin Rouge compact, one of the most unique pieces in the Museum’s collection. The design is probably more of a profile than a #silhouette, but does it really matter? 😍 #VintageCompact

Still don’t know how to clean vintage compacts so I asked the Museum’s conservator Poe to help. He did what he could but said we need mini q tips to really get into all the little crevices. 😅#MakeupMuseum #VintageCompact

Dating Stratton compacts isn’t as straightforward as it looks.

Base patterns, logos, inner lids, each tells part of the story, but not always the whole of it.

This #Stratton compact looks older than it is, and that’s the interesting part.
I set out to date it, but the real story is in the paint.
Sometimes history survives in use, not catalogs.
