Description
10" link chain purse handle
7 3/4" link chain coin handle
1 1/8" diameter coin lid with engraved design
Satin lining in purse, 3 layers
I understand that the coin purses usually don't survive over the years. The coin purse is perfect, no flaws.
The purse clasp has one piece broken, have piece and it could be repaired.
No breaks in the mesh of the purse...also perfect.
Initials are DG. Some wear on the gold plating on the frame.
