Vintage 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Masonic Compact – Seattle Valley – Gold‑Tone Mini Compact (1.5")
This rare miniature compact features the official 32° Scottish Rite double‑headed eagle emblem with the triangle and motto “SPES MEA IN DEO EST” (“My hope is in God”), along with SEATTLE engraved across the top. Likely produced as a lodge‑issued presentation piece, this compact dates to the mid‑20th century (1940s–1960s) and was created for a member of the Seattle Valley Scottish Rite.
The compact measures 1.5 inches, crafted in gold‑tone metal with a hinged lid, interior mirror, and original powder puff. The interior is lined in cream fabric, consistent with mid‑century ceremonial compacts rather than commercial cosmetic brands. These were produced in very small quantities and are seldom found today.
Condition:• Lid engraving crisp and clear• Mirror intact with light age haze• Interior fabric clean with gentle wear• Original puff included• Hinge opens and closes smoothly• Light surface wear appropriate for age
A unique collectible for Masonic historians, fraternal memorabilia collectors, or anyone who appreciates unusual mid‑century presentation pieces. Beautiful displayed, gifted, or added to a compact collection.
