Ca. very late 30s/very early 40's Whiting & Davis bag is made from Beadlite, an enameled metal mesh domed in the center of each tile to mimic the appearance of individual beads. Mesh is cream, not white. Goldtone frame with kisslock clasp, tubular snake-chain handle, and rayon taffeta lining. Inside the small slip pocket is a coin purse--unusual to find this type of bag with its change purse. Would make a great wedding bag to go with an ivory or off-white gown!

Small, but holds the essentials. About 6" high x 7 3/4" across. Soft sided for some expansion. Handle drop about 5 1/4". Very good condition overall, structurally exceptional. No loose or missing tiles, but there is some age discoloration in some areas--typical with these bags and not blatantly noticeable. Lining has some typical discoloration as well. Coin purse excellent to near mint. (We have seen this same coin purse without its matching bag listed online for $25!)
