Black Beaded Purse, hinged, clam shell opening, Walb0rg, Hong Kong, 4" x 6", 1950's

$ 25.00

Sold Out

1950's Black beaded purse signed Walborg, Hong Kong.  It is 5" long and 6" wide with a hinged clam shell opening.  It has an alternating linked chain handle that slides through loops and can either be used long or doubled like a handle.  There is a little finish wear on the one ring of the strap and 3 straw beads are missing on the back - that can be repaired easily by restitching replacement beads or gluing them in place.  It is a beautiful purse with a zig-zag beaded pattern.  The gold finish is very good except on the one ring and the base of the clasp from use - I did  gold enamel them and clear coat those areas to remove the dull look. The shade is slightly duller but it improved the finish.   The purse looks new other than the missing beads on the outside and the inside.  The gold metal finish is as explained but I'd still classify it as very good overall. .

I carry mostly vintage jewelry across all themes in my stores and listings.  I am currently  stampshopgirl in Ebay and have been since I think 2003.  I transitioned from rubber stamping to vintage jewelry about six years ago and also carry other vintage items and am trying to change my presence to marias vintage and estate treasures.  You may see both names until the transition is complete.  You can find me on pinterest where all my ebay items are categorized - mariasvinta0654

Please note that most of my photos are taken at 10X magnification. This shows any blemishes much more magnified than they really are.

I keep great notes about each item and can answer most questions quickly, but I do not store fine jewelry on premises, so answers about specific measurements may take some time as I arrange to inspect the piece again.

In addition to this website, Maria's Vintage, I am on eBay as stampshopgirl, on Etsy as stampshopgirl, and on StorEnvy as Maria's. I have many vintage jewelry items and other vintage and new items - a very wide variety.

I will combine shipping, even if you buy items from one of my other stores. If you purchase one item and know you’ll be picking more, just email me and let me know and I will ship them at the same time and refund the shipping over the combined limit.

Given the number of different items I carry it is hard to know what combination of items can be purchased to pre-plan the shipping, so just email me and we will work it out to save you shipping charges whenever possible.
