Goldtone Vintage Mesh
Purse
This goldtone vintage mesh purse has a nice patina to it. The frame
is
simple with a chain link handle. The bottom of the purse is nicely
decorated with a chain "ruffle" effect. Six tiny balls hang from
between the ruffles. There is no ball at the center, but I don't
know if it ever had one. The purse measures 7 3/4" in length from
top of clasp to bottom of ruffle and 5" wide at widest point of mesh.
The handle measures approximately 16". There are a few links
unattached on the sides below the frame. There are also some
unattached links on the bottom where the two sides meet. There is
one small dark spot on the purse, close to the bottom, which I have
not tried to clean. The frame is unmarked and does show some wear.

Vintage 1920's Black
Reticule
Vintage black reticule with beaded loops which is in near-perfect
condition.
It is 6" wide and measures 7 1/4" from top to tip of bottom of beaded
ball. Circa 1925 or earlier. No beading is missing on the bag except
for one loop which is incomplete (not noticeable) and a few loops
missing on the upper set of loops (this is at the side of the bag and
does not detract from the over-all appearance). Bag is lined with a
soft green print material which I believe is silk. The lovely metal
chain passes through eight metal rings inside the bag; it is possible
that one ring is missing. A beaded ball adorns the botton,
completing the design. The bag looks great but with minor restoration
would be PERFECT.

decorated with tassels on each end. The purse is crocheted with a
center floral design. Two tassels are attached to the center of the
front flower and hang approximately 4" long. The purse is in very
good condition, but does need some minor cleaning. This would be the
perfect look for a Victorian or Edwardian wedding or summer tea.
