<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 7903364, member: 12382&quot;]I&#039;ve been offered the opportunity to acquire a very old handbag of some sort, which the seller claims to be from the 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it&#039;s really too remote from the stuff I might normally collect, I&#039;ll probably give it a miss.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I do find it quite attractive and would be obliged to know anything more about it. It appears to be hand stitched, so I&#039;m wondering if it is earlier than 19th century. </p><p>Also, I&#039;d be grateful if anyone were to suggest a possible country of origin, or even if the bag had some purpose other than that of a run-of-the-mill ladies handbag.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions gratefully appreciated !</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]424709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424711[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424714[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
