Rare Bass Lizard Bakelite Clasp Y2K Green Medium Single Strap Handbag Purse This is a fabulous 1950’s era handbag purse featuring a large overlapped bakelite clasp. The bakelite is somewhat translucent, which is a sign of being catalin - note that any bakelite made post 1927 is made by the Catalin corporation as they acquired the rights to bakelite at that time. The catalin is made in an amber/butterscotch color with a darker ripple in it. It closes with a single amber knob that snaps into a hole drilled in the other part of the clasp. The body is made of real lizard skin Single lizard strap Inside slip pockets Fully fabric lined 11”L x 9” H x 4” W at bottom 7” strap drop Like New in excellent condition, pre-owned, clean, no odor, minimal wear, please zoom in pictures as they are part of the description and feel free to ask questions or make reasonable offers Reasonable offers welcomed All sales are final
