A beautiful mid-century treasure with a remarkably clean interior! This genuine crocodile skin bag features a classic structured frame and a rich, high-gloss finish. Pristine Interior: Lined in soft, supple tan leather. It is exceptionally clean with no major stains or odors—a rare find for this era.

Construction: Gold-tone metal frame and protective brass feet on the base. Condition - Please Read Carefully: This bag is listed in Fair condition primarily due to the handle: Handle Wear: There are four specific structural cracks in the leather handle (see close-up photos for detail). The handle remains attached but is fragile and needs reinforcement or professional restoration (see photos 8, 9, 10 and 11. Exterior: The body and base are in good vintage shape with light surface "crazing" and minor corner scuffs consistent with its 70+ year history. Sellers Note: This is a fantastic "project" piece for a vintage collector. It would look beautiful with a silk "twilly" scarf wrapped around the handle to provide support and hide the cracks!
