AB-10448                   $310

8" x 3-1/2" nice 1930s Mandalian mesh purse. Some call this the hummingbird design as it looks like two birds in the design. The background is a beige with brown, blues, rose enamel colors on both sides. The silverplate frame is ornate with flowers and swirls on both sides. All the color is intact on the purse and the links are tight against the sides of the frame. The chain link fringe is complete. It's marked Mandalian on the inside frame. Cute!

AB-10442                     $325

8" x 4-1/2" great Mandalian mesh purse! Very shimmery silver background with deep bright blue, reddish-maroon, black and a hint of yellow! The silverplate frame has a flower and flower basket desgin on both sides. The V shape fringe is in great condition, with only one link that has a partial chain missing. 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!

7" x 5" Whiting Davis dresden enamel mesh purse. Very sweet floral design on both sides in bright orange, pink, blue and red colors. A nice colorful fringe matches the flowers. The raised deco gold tone frame has a raised closure knob. The color is great on the purse and the links are attached tightly to the sides of the frame. The inside pink silk lining is intact and the rope link chain is original. It has the WD logo on the inside frame. Great example of a 1930s dresden enamel mesh purse! 

AB-7729          $158

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.

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.

6" wide, 3" deep ornate sterling purse frame by the designer Peruzzi. The frame has a 1" design of people, flowers and birds all over it on both sides. There are sew holes to sew onto a purse. 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!
