The listing, ANTIQUE METAL MESH GERMAN SILVER HANDBAG PURSE NEEDING SOME TLC has ended.

Here we have a lovely old purse in need of some TLC. If it could only talk imagine what we might learn about where this old bag was purchased, where it was worn, and how I came to have it. Anyone who collects antiques shares the same romantic thoughts. This bag is from about the turn of the century. The frame is good and strong, its all original, but it does have some problems. Some purses of this type have been made of sterling but not this one. I believe this one to be German silver which contains no silver at all. This one is in need of repair I can no longer do. Please view photo's closely. Some of the mesh has come detached from the frame on both sides and the metal has tarnished from lack of attention. It's been waiting for attention for some time now so I will pass it along for someone else to look after now.

Always glad to answer any questions. Smoke free and pet free home. Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding! Please only Listia verified addresses. All Listia rules applied. I do not do GINS yet so please don't ask me, nor do I lessen days. I like to keep things fair for everyone.

Is it only detached on the sides? Maybe my son could repair it. I'm going to watch and decide whether to bid or not later. It keeps calling me...

Yes, it is detached on both sides near the hinges. Everything else is in good working order. It would make a wonderful display piece without repair. Or just the frame could be used for another bag. Lots of possibilities. Good luck if you bid Vicki.

I do understand Vicky. It's a tedious process. I did one that was enough for these old eyes. Lol. You can take it to a jeweler but it would probably be costly. Nice to hear from you dearie.
