Compact that my Father gave to my Mother in or around 1948.

From Claude "Bud" Gimbel when we lived 3404 Lowden Kalamazoo, Orpha Fouts Gimbel, his wife.

The note was written by my Mother..(she didn't want me to forget).

Inside the compact.  (She did use it)

It is a little worn, but it still has the mirror.
