Celluloid Figural Frame
I love the elegance of this celluloid frame. Large original crocheted body, the interior colors show no fading & look a tad 'shimmery'. This purse looks unused - it's in excellent condition. The chain was replaced by a lavender ribbon. The frame: two elegant & graceful coiled-hair beauties wearing ethereal sheaths, and sharing their secrets or talking about their most recent purse treasure.
Collection of Kathy Gunderson
