<p>[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 85535, member: 993"]This old purse is 12 by 6 inches. Here are both sides and a look inside (don't make fun of me, but that wine glass was handy after I chugged the contents in order to use it to hold the purse open!) as well as a close-up of a metal section that reads "CL" inside a shape that looks like an open book or open purse. It also reads "Pat. No." followed by numbers that are too worn away to read, even with a microscope. It might be 9595001 but who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>I *THINK* it may have belonged to a relative who purchased it in the 1920s. Any ideas on materials, age, background?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
