Have you ever seen a purple Lightning Bolt?

The Coquette came in blue…but a handful of green models exist, and recently this purple model surfaced. There have been rumors of other colors as well, but none have ever been seen. The blue model comes in two variations, the blue/aquamarine and  blue/blue models shown on the right.

This set recently became complete thanks to Rick Vogan, who saw my web page and informed me of a lone compact he saw at an antique store in Lincoln, Nebraska. What a small world the web has made….I have been looking for this compact for over 10 years! Thanks Rick!

The Kodak Coquette was made from 1930-31. It is a boxed set including a blue Kodak Petite with special art-deco "lightning bolt" design, matching compact with same design, and blue lipstick holder. It came packaged in a black and silver deco box. The set is very hard to find and is rarely found complete as shown. The green model is even harder to find and has never been seen as a complete set. The purple model is probably a one-of-a-kind; it was owned by a Kodak employee and was probably made special for him.

Any complete Coquette sets or parts from sets (lipstick, compact, original box, etc.)
