    * Very rare Mary Pickford Cameo Rouge Compact with Clear intact mirror.
    * Tin is enameled in ivory and embossed.
    * The front depicts a cameo of the famous movie actress Mary Pickford.
    * The back has a facsimile Mary Pickford signature as well as the New York distribution label.
    * The interior mirror is still intact and clear. Mild cosmetic residue and a glue mark where the rouge was once intact.
    * The hinge is in good proper working order.
    * This rare piece of cosmetic and movie star history is from the very short lived Mary Pickford line of cosmetics and all pieces are very hard to find, they were made from only 1938 to 1940.
    * Mary Pickford was perhaps the major movie star at the time, known as “America’s Sweetheart” and was then married to Douglas Fairbanks, the movie’s leading man.
    Saved all these years, from my own family estate.
    From the moment I first faced footlights, as a little girl of five, and later, before the motion picture camera, I have had to use cosmetics. Naturally the discovery of pleasing, effective and beneficial beauty aids became a very practical necessity. Eventually, with the help of competent chemists, I developed my own beauty requisites.
    These products have so satisfactorily met my exacting social and professional requirements that I have long thought that other women would appreciate their benefits. Careful tests have shown that, in large quantities, they can be produced at prices within the reach of every woman. So, I have formed my own company, offering to the women of America at extremely moderate prices, the identical beauty aids I personally use. As a matter of fact, when I had them made up just for my personal use, they cost me considerably more than prices at which I am offering them to you. To cite just three instances, the cleansing cream, the tissue cream, and the soap literally cost me four and five times the amount at which I am able to price them in quantity production.
    I am enthusiastic about these preparations, and am sure that if you will try them, you will be as gratified with the results as I have been.” -Mary Pickford
