I have this exact same compact. It was my great grandmothers. I thinks it's beautiful as well. Do you happen to know the value?

Hi - not exactly sure, but if it's in excellent condition (clear mirror, solid hinge and no cracks or strange smell from degrading plastic), then it would probably fetch somewhere in the region of £40 (the to right collector! ;-))
