This is a true gem. Gunmetal/silver tone frame (there is no mark anywhere so I'm certain it is not sterling.) The beading is either marcasite or cut steel beads including the fringe. I have no certainty either way. The bag has an interesting geometric design all over and the inside is very delicate fine leather. Third pic shows the inside. Of course being as old as it is, there are some issues. There are a few loose threads and the frame is slightly bent off center. True vintage!

hobbswife@surcies Oh you don't know how bad I wanted this to be Whiting & Davis but I can't find any mark at all to indicate it. Ugh!!! It looks like one of theirs but I can't find a single thing to prove it. Plus as far as I know their stuff is most generally always marked...? 😝 I wish I could get $450 out of it! Lol! ❤️

hobbswife@gaylenknack Hmm I may be anti-social! Haha!!! ..... Nahhh just a little selective maybe?! You are totally my kind of gal!! 😘😘

Aug 21Reply

hobbswife@gaylenknack I didn't want to sound presumptuous... Lolol!! But seriously (and i really don't want to sound mean) there are just too many idiots out there in internet land so I limit my exposure. But i thank you so much for thinking of me! ❤️

Aug 21Reply

hobbswife@gaylenknack Ive been accused of low tolerance for idiots...... Not that Im so special; i just figure i don't need to tell everyone that I may be an idiot too! HAHAHA!!!

Aug 21Reply

hobbswife@gaylenknack It just occurs to me that I sound like a jerk.... But i promise i am not! 😄😄💩

gaylenknack@hobbswife no you dont. You're a doll. Anyone that would share ALL my freaking listings. Omg. You are soooo sweet. ♡♡♡ And let's hear it for idiots in the internet. Bhahaahahaha!

hobbswife@gaylenknack Omg you are the doll. You my dear, are the diamond amongst the rhinestones for sure. I certainly would never, could never think that of you!! You are an awesome chick and i am honored to know you!!! Your closet is divine!!!! Easy to do! 😘

Aug 21Reply

gaylenknackThis thing is hotttt. YOU know. I'm just theorizing. My going away suit for the wedding us 40s. I got the sweetest black and white pumps yesterday for it. Now I'm on the hunt for a wide brim black vintage hat. I don't think this is the right feel. But damn I love it. Would you look for a 40s / 50s vintage black /white or black purse?

Aug 21Reply

hobbswife@gaylenknack I will keep my eyes peeled for you girl! Ive decided you are my sister from another mother so I would give you a special deal if you ever want it. In the meantime I will tag you in one that my sister (for real hehe) has in her closet. It may not be quite right either but you may like it! 😉 I am in love with it! I'll be on the hunt...

Aug 21Reply

hobbswife@gaylenknack Plus I have many many more bags to list and so many 40's era included so i might find one thats right... 😘 I'll keep you posted

hobbswife@spirit_of_love Is it about Irene? she emailed us yesterday about moms passing. Is it about that? I emailed her back. I think she is depressed a little.

hobbswife@emptygraves Thank you so much! 😊💕💕

kb72shopper@hobbswife I didn't take the time to read all the comments, but I do have a small collection of antique purses. It isn't marcasite. It is steel cut beads. Long story, but very popular in the Industrial Age. If the purse is very light weight, they may be aluminum. In the early 1900s, aluminum was more expensive than gold since it was hard to make. Frame is most likely gunmetal and not silver.

kb72shopper@hobbswife PS Yours is in very good condition. To have the lining look so good is rare. Lining with flowers looks original.

Aug 12Reply

kb72shopper@hobbswife PPS These were often made in France.

Aug 12Reply

hobbswife@kb72shopper Well hello there. Yes you are right it is not silver - just silver tone. The bag is actually quite heavy so definitely not aluminum. Yes I have several others as well as I am sort of hung up on finding these little treasures. Lol! I guess you could say I understand the ‘fever’. I have so many more things not listed than are listed. It’s a little ridiculous. Thank you so much for your input though! It’s very nice to meet a fellow addict. Heehee! 😊🌹

Aug 12Reply

kb72shopper@hobbswife OOh. I wish I could see all your purses. I have them hung on my wall in my bedroom. Started collecting chain mail 20 yrs ago and moved onto steel cut and others.

Aug 12Reply

kb72shopper@hobbswife Your art nouveau leather tooled ones are really nice, too.

kb72shopper@hobbswife Wish you lived in Chicago!

Aug 12Reply

hobbswife@kb72shopper Ooh me too! We could go treasure hunting together! I bet Chicago has some amazing hunting grounds. My favorite thing to do. I have a husband who gets excited about finding them too so now we just enable each other. Lol! And it’s so nice to meet you girl! When I get my act together and list more I’ll tag you with the newbies. 😊🌹

Aug 12Reply

kb72shopper@hobbswife That's fantastic that your husband helps you. Chicago has loads of great shopping but it can be pricey. Yard/garage sales are the best. I'll look forward to your future listings. Nice to virtually meet you!
