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: [log in to unmask] 

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

Thanks in advance,

Bill
