AVAILABLE for SHIPPING or LOCAL PICKUP > A vintage miniature folding double portrait case measuring approximately 1.5" square when closed, opening at the center hinge to reveal paired black-and-white portraits of Golden Age motion picture stars Cary Grant and Susan Hayward beneath circular glass panels. The compact bifold case features a warm brass-tone metal exterior, central hinge and applied round interior bezels framing the printed halftone portraits. Designed to close flat for compact storage or carrying, the piece opens for display upon a vanity, dresser, desk, bookshelf or Hollywood memorabilia cabinet. Cary Grant became one of the most recognizable leading men of classic American cinema, admired for polished sophistication, romantic charm and exceptional comic timing in films including Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story and North by Northwest. Susan Hayward earned distinction as one of Hollywood’s leading dramatic actresses during the 1940s and 1950s, receiving five Academy Award nominations and winning Best Actress for I Want to Live! Her vivid screen presence and emotionally charged performances made her a major star of the postwar era. Together, the paired portraits create an appealing Golden Age Hollywood collectible housed within an unusually small, decorative and portable presentation case. CONDITION REPORT > The exterior displays a degree of oxidation and areas of green verdigris typically relative to brass elements due to age and metal composition.
