For your consideration is this Fabulous Antique 1890 Signed Victorian Silver Tone Roman Greek Coin Black Crochet & Glass Bead Purse.

This wonderful purse has a silver tone (plated?) repousse Greek Coin Motif (Apollo) lid opening.  It has a hand crafted black crochet purse attached with a tri-cut black glass bead star burst design.  The purse measures approximately 3 inches across and 2.5 inches in depth when filled.  It has a depress clasp that is in very good working order.  The inside rim of the opening has a designer signature "B or R" ( B for Bostonia?) inside what looks like a weight" along with stamp patent date marks saying PAT. MAR. 25, 90 (for 1890).  This purse looks like it could be a Bostonia, Tam O Shanter (?) as it resembles others I have seen.

  

For its age, this quality hand crafted purse is in great overall condition with just some minor silver wear.  It is in good working, usable condition and would make a great addition to any collection!
