Wadsworth Pandora Minaudière Compact Carry All Evening Bag with Comb 1950s
About the Item
This vintage minaudière or small make up compact clutch was made by Wadsworth, most likely in the 50s. Coined "Pandora" it's made from gold metal, and features a black jet bead design on the top lid, and two compartments: one with a lipstick holder and plastic comb and the other with a mirror and powder pad. It also comes with its original black velvet sling holder with tassel and cinch ring, which includes a small pocket for stowing the bag.
A similarly styled Wadsworth piece, once owned by Marilyn Monroe, was auctioned for upwards of two hundred thousand dollars back in 2016!
The metal clutch measures appx 3.5in L x 2.2in D and the pouch measures 15in L (including tassel).
Stamped WADSWORTH on the metal clutch and powder pad. In very good condition given its age, we note some scratching here and there, most notable to the interior.
