Description
This is a very beautiful basket handbag, that resembles one of those Nantucket Lighthouse Basket Handbags. (I dont think it is one of those as it does not have the scrimshaw, or wooden bottom and didnt look like any of the Basket Handbags I saw online..but, what do I know lol) The Clasp appears to be Silver and has a very unique Fish Closure that locks the bag shut. The back hinges appear to be Silver as well. It has a black velvet ribbon around the edge of the top of it. The Handle appears to be of bent Bamboo. It is in the same condition as it was the day Mom got it. It was never used. It was left to me and I am very curious about what the heck it IS lol? Any ideas..thanks so much..sincerely, Aeva Wheet
