Gorgeous Elks Carnival Ball 1954 powder box with finger chain. Not sure but it feels like Sterling Silver.
Beautiful design with bright blue enamel on the cover with the Elks crest in the center. On the bottom is inscribed:
Carnival Ball New Orleans 30 March 2nd 1???
The year is rubbed away and I’ve tried to research what past years Mardi Gras fell on March 2nd. Could only find 1954 and 1965. This is much older and I believe older than 1954!
We believe there should be a mirror in the lid and the powder and puff in the bottom. Held on the finger with the loop and chain to power before or after a dance.
Thank you so much. Please look through the pictures and ask any questions.
