A rare vintage marbled yellow urea formaldehyde/early plastic powder bowl dating from the 1930's. Made by chic-pak, england with a gb patent no.

414645 which dates this design to 1934. The patent document states that it was granted to oswald montagu shepherd and cyril keith thomas, but no mention is made of a company name.

The design enables a carton of powder to be placed in the bottom of the bowl, with a seal of pliable material above on the bottom of the powder tray, so that the latter may be enclosed in a powder and airtight compartment. The lid screws off to reveal the box below. The powder bowl has a puff tray and an unused yellow wool powder puff with pale blue silk top and handle. The bottom of the bowl sits on four tiny feet and is signed to the base.

Chic-pak de luxe model, made in england, british patent no 414645-33. The box measures approx 5" in diameter x 2" in depth. In excellent vintage condition although the outside of the bowl has faded to a more mellow colour. As can be seen the inside of the bowl is much brighter yellow. The powder puff is unused although the handle is a little grubby - see photos.

I will then work out the best option and contact you. This item is made of early plastic and swans down.
