Beaded purses: black and blue one has the name Ann Keehn on one side and the date 1839 on other side; Box which it is in has drawing on the front of a victorian woman and the name [artist's?] underneath is S. Allan Gilbert.
Large silver one has beautiful embroidery of roses on the inside and deep blue cabachons on the clasp. Metal work on top surrounding the clasp is ornate and beautifully intricate. This one is more of a mesh as opposed to beading.
Small one has what appears to be a cross embroidered on the front. It too is more of a mesh but does have some beadwork also. cronze, silver and gold colors in the mesh.
Red one appears to made of cheaper materials overall and completely different style. All beading although handles are metal chained and ends are decorative [thread-wrapped?] rounded balls.
