Description

This coin purse features an oval body constructed with iridescent, checkered mother-of-pearl panels on the exterior. The piece is mounted in a dark-toned metal frame that utilizes a push-button clasp mechanism. A gold-tone chain handle is attached to the frame via two small loops. The interior is lined with a red, leather-textured fabric and is divided into three accordion-style compartments by white-edged dividers. No maker’s marks or factory stamps are present on the item.
Width: 2.75 inches

The item shows signs of age and use consistent with its style. There is minor wear and surface loss visible on the red interior lining. The metal frame and chain show a dark patina. The mother-of-pearl panels are loose.
