If you've been looking at vintage handbags and purses for awhile, you've probably seen a photograph of this bag, or maybe the bag itself. The marking, on the bottom of the bag, says "Elsa Mfg. Co. / St. Louis 3, Missouri." I love the way light shines through the Lucite, showing off every swirl in the marbleized tortoise shell. The handles, rigid with a 5 1/2" drop, are another kind of Lucite, without the torti markings, The lid, with its impressed aster carving, is a third style, carved and ckear yellow gold. Four little Lucite feet built right onto the base. 7" wide at the base, by 6 1/2" wide at the top, by 5 1/2" high, by 5" deep at the base. Lid is held on with a piano hinge and has a "suitcase closure." Very nearly mint. I can't find any flaws.
