[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 695338, member: 85"]Not sure how things are done in the UK. Here in the US we have antique shows. Some specialize, as in Depression Glass, Ephemera, and also Antique Fashion. If you have such shows there, it might worth your while to take it to one and sell it to a dealer who specializes in purses. They will most likely have a customer base(contacts) where it isn't actually sold in the public market. Of course you won't get full value, you'll be selling it at about 1/3 retail.[/QUOTE]
