I have posted an image of this glass on the Archeoseek webpage.

Not actually sure of the thickness, since I am not in possession of the
item.
Mondaine compacts of the 1930s have a much wider bevel on their glass
edge. See this link:

Subject: Thin, flat glass, possibly from a compact
Does anyone know of any research on women's compacts from the 1920s or
1930s? We are especially looking for information on the glass used. We
are trying to track down a small piece ca. 6 cm. wide, very thing flat
glass that may have come from a compact. The glass is broken, so we do
not know the length. The edges of the glass are beveled, but there is
no trace of silvering on the back.
We are open to any other suggestions about what it could be. If you
want a photo, please e-mail me at my home e-mail address:

Since we are in our summer intesessional, I am not at the office often.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
