I found this small bag filled with old celluloid dolls and doll clothes at an estate sale. I believe it was a child's purse.
The metal has some rust, typical with age.
The handle appears to be warped as you can see in pictures it is bent or misshapen but function fine and moved back and forth with ease.
the bottom piece of cardboard has a stain
the top closes tightly around the brass ball and the purse functions as it should.
Measures 4" wide and 2" tall
