Wonderful ca 1919 WWI Occupation Period US 3rd Army 900 Silver German Made Souvenir Compact

Wonderful circa 1919 WWI Occupation Period .900 silver United States 3rd Army German-made souvenir powder compact. The lid features an enameled emblem in black with a red circle showing a letter "A" in the center. Inside, the compact still contains its original powder puff and the inner side of the lid shows mostly indecipherable silver marks - looks like .900 silver and a maker's mark.

Circa 1919, WWI.

Approximately 1-3/4" in diameter; Open: 1-1/2" open; Puff: 1-1/4" in diameter.

Silver, enamel, cotton puff, satin.

Hinged lid with suspension ring.

Mostly indecipherable - perhaps .900 and a maker's mark on inner side of lid (see photo)

This is from a Home Front Sweetheart collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VEJM16 LAGEX1/17 hldLOCATE03/20/24

8- (Very Fine - Excellent): The compact shows minor to moderate wear and tarnish, nearly all the enamel details remain intact showing a couple of blemishes that do not detract much, original powder puff intact, overall excellent condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
