1950s Vintage Max Factor Compact with Pastoral Scene
This charming 1950s Max Factor compact is a wonderful collectible, featuring a richly detailed lid design of a pastoral scene with a mother and children gathering flowers, a dog at their side, and soft countryside tones beneath a clear finish. The gold-tone metal case is stamped with concentric ring detailing to the reverse, and inside it retains its original branded powder puff, adding extra desirability for collectors of vintage cosmetics.
Measuring 3" x 3", it’s a lovely mid-century piece that captures the romantic imagery often used by Max Factor during this era and makes a striking display piece or an unusual gift for a vintage enthusiast.
The mirror shows some signs of age and the casing has light surface wear, but overall it remains in good vintage condition with plenty of character and history.

Sizing Guide
At My Vintage, we take time to carefully measure each item of vintage clothing so that you have the best chance of ensuring a good fit whenever you buy from us. We measure the clothing laid flat and for bust, chest, waist and hips we double the measurement. For example, if the waist measures 17" across when laid flat then this would equate to a 34" waist (17 x 2 = 34)
We use the measurements we collate to assign each item of vintage clothing with an approximate modern-day size. For example, a dress with a 34" bust, 28" waist and 34" hips would normally equate to a current UK size 10. The labels on vintage clothing can vary massively depending on country of origin and date of manufacture. Clothing sizes have changed over the years and from decade to decade we see alternative types of sizing as well as variations on the way measurements equate to dress sizes.
We always recommend that you double-check the measurements of the vintage clothing item you are interested in, ideally by measuring an item of clothing you already own and that fits well, and comparing these measurements. There can be variations due to the desired fit, shape and fabric of an item but our size guidelines are normally very accurate and take the stress out of buying vintage online.
