I picked this up because the color is so striking. It has a nice painted black pinstripe around the enamel. I realize the mirror is not in great shape, and the puff is not original, but I won't be wearing the makeup, anyway :-). The silver is tarnished, but the enamel is in great shape. The inside is marked 7030, with GB in a diamond underneath. The bluish color of the light in pic 4 is from my magnifying glass, it has an LED bulb built in. So far I haven't found that mark out there, but I' still looking!
Update 10.22.15:
I got a microscope and got a better picture of the mark. vetraio50 may be right but the center is still hard to make out.
So beautiful!
Thanks Elisabethan, and thanks for the loves!

There's an ebay item with a G.B. mark similar said to be probably Gaston Bardies.

Nut is it Gaston Bardies, 1897 — 1914 (13, Rue de Fontaines,Paris) ?
But is it Bardies, Gaston 1897 — 1914 (13, Rue de Fontaines,Paris)?
Thanks vetraio50 I think you might be correct. That would be sweet!
