    A cute antique shop find on one of my driving excursions,

    It seems to have most of the hallmarks of a 1950’s era Dorset Rex, Fifth Avenue lucite design.

    Thank You for viewing, comments are very welcome. ❤️Maven

    Hi Maven,
    I sold a similar one on eBay back in the 2001 for 250 dollars.

    @gregsglass Really, wow! I made out good on this one then. The original asking price at the Antique shop was $195.00 I got it for $90.00 Is that cool, or what. ❤️Maven

    @David Kiehl I like that one too! lol It went for the price of the one I bought as well, but I do love the subtle sophistication mine has. ❤️Maven

    @SBSVC Thank You! I fell in love with it the very moment I saw it there....I had to have it, I tried so hard to act conservative during bargaining for it lol ❤️Maven

    *They had already taken a percentage off from the original price, but I bargained down a little more.

    Lucite mother of pearl I think is affectionately known in some circles as "mother of toilet seat".

    Cool purse!

    I did a little more research into my purse, seems this is it....mine matches the description, features & dimensions of this one as well, except for colour, of course, and mine has no surface scratches, in pretty nice condition. I was told at the Antique shop that mine could be one (Dorset Rex Fith Avenue). Hmmm, just sort of adds to the fun of this item I love. ❤️Maven
