Article life edit

When creating cigarette case article, I noticed that, strangly enough, in industry and collectibles/antiques topics the two items often go together; like, "compacts and cigarette cases" gives 3,000+ google hits, so what the heck, I created this stub as well. I don't know of any mysterious connection between the two, like, Venus+Mars (you know what I mean :-). If someone knows, please improve the article. User:Laudak

Improving edit

More sources would be welcome, but the three I've found have been quite useful in presenting a timeline of the compact's history and this means I've been able to add to the article. The Americana article by Deirdre Clemente is particularly useful. Libby norman (talk) 10:35, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Modern edit

Aren't the modern disposable plastic ones also compacts? Why aren't they covered in this article? --Macrakis (talk) 14:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
