Description
This purse is a peach/pink color of crepe fabric with a metal top hinged frame of white, with a gold clasp. The handle is made of a bone (almost yellow) colored plastic chain link. Inside is lined in a champagne colored fabric and has a small change purse (in champagne fabric with gold clasp) attached by a string. This purse was purchased for a prom in 1945 or '46. My mother ended up not going to the prom and never used the purse. It is in a Joseph Horne, Pittsburgh, PA, flat box. The box is old with yellowed tape on it and not in good shape. The purse is in excellent condition. Unfortunately, there is no tag on the inside of the purse or change purse to identify the designer or manufacturer.
