<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 42155, member: 51&quot;]Metal rings.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I look at this I think it is pieced together from different ages.&nbsp; Inside looks quite old, something about the fabric.&nbsp; If I had to guess, would say the inside looks 1900&#039;s, if not older.&nbsp; The exterior is another matter. I do not think as new as 70&#039;s, maybe, maybe 1960&#039;s, but something about it just feels like it could be earlier. Even 1920&#039;s or 40&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rings we decided were a later addition.&nbsp; The blue chord looks the newest of all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The outer layer has a detailed repair on the edge, this thing has been sewn and re-sewn.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was purchased last summer from a 70 year old woman who said it had belonged to her mother. It wasn&#039;t expensive ($3).&nbsp; This particular sale is where I got some very nice older things.&nbsp; One item even went back to 1850. (Tiffany teapot.)&nbsp; She had a lone table at a neighborhood sale, everything on it was her mother&#039;s, she was clearing out, and honestly I don&#039;t recall anything post 1940, but doesn&#039;t mean this bag isn&#039;t newer.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is a mystery that goes unsolved, it&#039;s okay by me.&nbsp; I was just curious if it was an easy ID. Had gotten some valuable things at the sale, just wondered how this fit in. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
