History:
Item History: The Evening Bag was given to me as a child by a very elderly
lady that my mother used to go to her house to do her hair. It was 62 years
ago in Bristol. Mum said it had a curved handle so that lady's could wear it
on their hand while they were dancing with their partner and it would follow
the curve of her dancing partner's back. It seems to have a Hallmark on the
back of the handle, 2 small rectangular shapes on the inside of the top
part of the bag and 3 initials (T D T I think) on the outside of the top
part of the bag. It seems to be made out of Pewter. The velvet is attached
with a thread and the interior silk lining is hand sewn on. There are 2
sections to the inside of the bag.
