New Vanity Case Holds Door Key (Dec, 1934)

New Vanity Case Holds Door Key

Ladies need no longer grope at length through their handbags in a search for an elusive house key. A new compact holds the key securely in place under a metal mirror until it is ready for use.

By sliding a thumb button along a groove in the vanity case, the key is quickly ejected through a slot.

The vanity is a regulation compact, complete with metal mirror, rouge and face powder.
