The bottom is a soft white which I imagine was the original color of the top before exposure to the elements.

There were a few spots on the mirror but they have all been cleaned off and just have an ever so slight cloudy cast to it.</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG>Just below the hinge is "Made in U.S.A. PAT. 2163429" which is circa 1940. The puff has a strap on it with Fifth REX Avenue on it and it also still has the vinyl powder screen still in it although it has shrunk some with time.</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG>The gold tone metal does have a bit of finish loss but is in remarkable condition.
