    I purchased the 2 compacts at an estate sale and I think they are from the 1930s.They are in great condition and I love the bird perched on a rose bush on the square compact.On the side it is written Volupte? (the last letter has worn over time)The round compact has a picture of the Empire exhibition in Scotland which was an international exposition held in Glasgow in 1938 the tower of empire is depicted in the picture.

    P.S.
    I have discovered the round compact is a 'Gwenda' made in England.
