1CC  -  AMAZING WWII PATRIOTIC LADIES COMPACT WITH A WATCH IN IT!   Heavy sheet brass box construction with preservative thin cast of lacquer.  Measures 2 x 2 x 13/16" high.  Face of compact has a beautiful National emblem eagle with fired enamel colors.  Above this is a rectangular clock face, for watch body behind.  Inside base is a place for face powder.  Inside of lid has two layers. First is a metal framed page for a picture (store picture there now), with celluloid cover.  Hinging this forward reveals the mirror behind, plus the watch body inside lid, which hinges out a bit.  Watch needs repair; don't think it works now.  Otherwise condition inside is excellent, with some remains of powder.  Exterior has some speckling tarnish where lacquer is worn.  Really neat find.  $95
