All the color is intact on the purse and the links are tight against the sides of the frame. It's marked Mandalian on the inside frame. A fun aspect of this purse is that it comes with the original Mandalian advertising card that states "salt water or dampness will not effect the gloss or smoothness of this bag!" Great 1930s purse!

The shape of the bottom of the purse is curved and the chain link fringe follows the curve and is intact. The silverplate frame is very simple and shows wear to the plating, I didn't polish it. There is no company identification, but I'm sure it's a Mandalian as it looks just like one!

AB-5951                 $295

1-1/2" long (not including the dangles), and 1" wide sterling purse. How cute is this?! Probably for a doll or to hang from a chatelaine as there's a ring on the back side. There are four original dangles. No missing links and the links are tight against the frame. It has hallmarks too tiny to make out on the top of the frame. So many possibilities for this purse--a chain, watch pin, chatelaine, doll!! Circa 1900s.

4" x 3" "purse" shaped German silver purple with nice engraved floral designs on both sides. The initial "B" is on one side. It's marked "G. Silver" on the front. The inside has two sections and then the middle section has a fold over clasp that opens to reveal another compartment. The inside material is a light blue and shows some staining, but no tears. There is a long chain attached to the outer loops that is brand new. No dents or dings, closes tightly. The purse can definitely be used today! From the early 1900s.

AB-668          $35

6" x 6-1/2" round shaped wooden beaded purse with handle. Blue, green, red, brown beads all strung together. No lining or closure. No holes or damage. Fun purse! From the 1950s I think.

Little swans hold rings that would attach to the chain (no chain on the frame). Marked sterling and Peruzzi on the inside. Nice heavy frame from the 1920s, no damage. It would look great on almost any purse!

AB-5429          $168
