COTY
A Coty compact by an unknown maker, marked with a Czechoslovakian hallmark in use from 1929-1941 indicating the 800/1000 silver:
Coty advertisements for the American market:
The Bodeker Drug Company - Richmond, Va. - 1927
The company was established in 1905 by a Corsican, François Coty, making eau de cologne. It is said that the firm's success turned on the accidental dropping of a bottle of Rose Jacqueminot by François Coty in a Louvre department store which when smelled by the fashionable clientele caused a rush for the product. By 1910 his firm were a market leader in high-priced perfumes.
