Vintage Micro Beaded Silver Purse with Fringe, 1920s some issues
ERA: True vintage item from the Teens to 1920s
MEASUREMENTS: 5 x 5 inches plus strap and fringe
MATERIAL: metal beads, leather lining
LABEL: none
Teeny silver metal beads purse with gold and lighter silver beads in the design. Envelope style with fringe along the edge and along the bottom edge. Beaded strap, white leather lining. There is a blue glass button stitched under the envelope flap, but nothing actually buttons.
CONDITION: Good condition. The strap has loose and missing beads, fraying and splitting along the edges and repair at each base. Some loops of fringe missing.
There are scattered groups of beads on the back that are corroded and look like a lighter, duller color. Bottom sides are repaired along the edges.
Fix or replace the strap and it will be a nice usable purse.
