[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 250357, member: 3335"]There is a single button on the mechanical side, if that is gently pushed to the side, the interior lid may pop open. The loose powder would be filled into the cavity and when milady wanted to use the powder, she would align the small holes with the large one on the face and a small amount of powder could be accessed. When not in use, the wheel would be moved, so that powder would not be spilled. If my monitor is showing the item color correctly, I think it is more likely nickle silver. Sometimes these compacts were signed on the exterior side "wall", did you check there? Nothing wrong with your English at all...you conveyed your question perfectly.[/QUOTE]
