Exquisite! A 1950s wooden case that was used as both a handbag and a jewelry box! Painted light yellow, with decals of green and purple violets and multi-colored butterflies on all the sides and the top. Secure metal ball clasp in front. Yellow celluloid hinged handle. Inside is lined with silk moire and decorated with embroidery ribbon.
So beautiful you can just display it! Or, fill with pretty jewelry, hair accessories, or special mementos. In good condition but PLEASE NOTE - some of the decals have chipped on the front and one of the sides (see photos). Given the "busy-ness" of the other decals, it's not that noticeable. Measures 8.3 inches long by 5 inches wide by 6 inches tall. The handle adds another 4.5 inches.
This is a work of art. Spring is coming!

@capemaybaby Thank you! Do you know who made this. I was thinking maybe you did and were an artist. Is this a private offer for me tonight or anyone? I really hope I can get it. Thank you!

@pillerscorner I wish I had made it! I do not know… it came from an antique store and I fell in love with it, but need funds right now for my dog’s health situation, so need to let it go…

@capemaybaby 🐶I’m so sorry about your doggies health situation. I surely understand that having been an animal lover my whole life! I recall years ago spending so much for surgeries for my dearly loved old cats and my dog. I hope and pray whatever the situation that all ends out really well. I just now saw your new offer. It’s late now, but I’m going out in the A.M. and I hope that Its still for sale then!🌷💕 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐶 Gratefully, Janey🎵

@capemaybaby 💜Suzy, I’m so sorry I left you hanging back there. I’ve really had too many problems. I hope your doggie is ok! I feel bad. I really do hope to get this. I just haven’t been able to. I noticed that you put the price down again. Thank you. They are asking for$ from a surgery I had, yikes! I’m going to call them tomorrow and hope for some time! Hope you are well💜Janey

Hi again! I’ve worried and prayed for Athena and hope she’s ok. I don’t ever want to be rude, but I could buy the purse for $50. Now, and If you were ok with that, I could buy your country violet shakers next month to help. Please let me know what you think! Thank you so much!! 💜🕊💛 Janey

@capemaybaby Hi I’m sorry I know $50 was very low to think of.. I was just saying I could do the purse only for 50 right now. Then I was saying that I could make up for it . Later in May by purchasing your salt shakers. I’m glad Athena is better! I’m out of town and not looking much at posh. I was just trying to help you and me so.. maybe soon I can do it at your price Thank you for being so kind!♥️
