Featured age of this compact?

The middle ring has "DEAUVILLE NEW YORK RICHARD HUDNUT PARTS PATS PEND PAT 12-2-24"

 

Well, you've got a patent pending date which is very helpful...

Helpful to those that know what that is

 

Hi,
Certain parts are pending. The patent date of the compact is right. You NEVER have a date for a pending patent. Patents are always granted on Tuesdays. If you have a date that is NOT a Tuesday it is most likely a fake. So when you find a patent pending you never find a date.

Thank you. So that is December 2nd 1924? Or February 12th 1924? Or... lol

 

A patent date will not tell you when something was made.I have a couple Ezra Bowman engraving tools made in the 1990's with a patent date of 1890,all of the companies engravers have been marked patent 1890 for the last 100 years.

 

Hi Stormy,
It is an American item so the date is MONTH day year. Feb 12 1924 was a Saturday.

According to Wikipedia, Feb 12 1924 was a tuesday, and a very interesting day:
February 12, 1924 (Tuesday)

• Howard Carter and his archaeological team had the lid of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's stone sarcophagus raised, revealing his solid gold mummy case.[18]
• The George Gershwin musical composition Rhapsody in Blue premiered at the Aeolian Hall in New York City.[19]
• The play Beggar on Horseback by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly opened on Brodway.
• Oscar "Happy" Felsch took the witness stand in the Joe Jackson-White Sox trial as a rebuttal witness for the plaintiff. Felsch was brought in to challenge the testimony of Harry Grabiner, who'd claimed he could not have signed Jackson to the 1920 contract in question because it was signed with a fountain pen, and he did not own one. The defense lawyers produced a number of letters passed between Felsch and owner Charles Comiskey as well as his 1920 contract, but Felsch denied that any of the signatures were his.[20]

Any Jewelry - you made me look up the news about Shoeless Joe (say it ain't so, Joe) Jackson. Hadn't thought of that in years.

 

Don't say I don't keep you occupied.
