This is a genuine 1950’s era “Kigu Cherie 58 Series” compact, made in England. It is in unused brand new condition. It was designed for loose powder, which is why you see the extra “screen” that goes below the powder puff: that is called the “sifter” and sits on top of the loose powder so you get just a little powder on your powder puff. It comes with the black silk case made for it.
This was my mother’s. It says “Kigu” on the powder puff and “Made in England” on the inside of the black satin carrying case. It is in perfect condition. There might be a slight wear or tiny chip near the place where you would have it engraved with initials. I think that could be fixed when it is engraved. My mother kept it in its satin case in her jewelry box my whole life. I would take it out to pretend to be a grown up at the opera.
I just recently discovered the history of this gorgeous compact, and so far I haven’t found one on the internet in an unused condition like this one. I found the Kigu catalog from the time period, which lists this compact as design Cherie 58-08. It was given to women on momentous occasions, such as a 21st birthday or an engagement, and it would be engraved with their initials on the front. It truly is a gem. You can have her initials engraved on the front of an antique! Make me an offer!

@sharv50 look what I found. I priced it this high because I kind of don’t want to sell it haha. It is a treasured memory of taking it out lovingly and carefully and dreaming of what my life would be. I’m listing it kind of just to show *you* since I knew you would appreciate it. Do you know what the RG means? Also if you have to have it I know you would love it so make me an offer (not $500 I just put that so no one would buy it haha).

Maybe it’s KG?

@ahollywoodgem Sorry, I just saw your post. I actually haven't had posh open because I went so overboard with $ during the holidays, lol. Saw too much I liked for myself while shopping for gifts! This is really lovely. I'm not sure if it's "KG" or "RG". I'll have to do a little checking and see if I can find out. I ADORE it, but I'm having to keep the wallet shut for the moment. I'll let you know what I find out!

@sharv50 look what I found out about this compact!! I just updated the info. I still don’t expect you to buy this for $500 lol, I just wanted to share it with you because I knew you would appreciate what I discovered. I’m still not sure I want to sell it, which is why I’m leaving it at $500. Although it actually might be worth $500, I have now discovered!

@lmalone784 good idea haha. I don’t wear powder too much and I’d be afraid to hurt it!
