Stratton Self-Opening Vintage Compact Box Case

This is a lovely and unique case from Stratton of England famous for their lovely compacts. Unsure of the original purpose, having never seen this piece before. Whatever you choose. Case features a beautiful faux tortoise shell inlay top and unique machine turn designs all over. The unique feature is how it opens. No visible latches are used. Just press on the case below the indentation on lid and it will pop open! See demonstrated in my video. Lovely condition for age. Maker’s Mark on inside lid. The Stratton Company ceased operations in 1997 so this case is at least 26 years old. May show some slight signs of wear. Note: I do my best to describe items however you,as the buyer, Please ask specific questions BEFORE purchasing as I can not anticipate details you may be interested in.
