    Not too shabby for a woods with nothing left in it.

    Congrats! That Seated is in nice shape, and the Buff isn't too bad for it's age either.

    I think you're right about the ladies pocket book or compact, looks like the loops probably had a chain attached at one time, I searched the area for other parts to it but couldn't find any. The other side had two spots for probably rouge and powder I would guess but theres no writing on it anywhere.

    Here's a pic of the other side of the silver compact.
