B5020: Micro-beaded purse. Frame marked "Sterling" with illegible hallmark, then "507." (I have not attempted to polish frame.) 17" chain. Ball clasp. Beautiful deep ruby-colored cut glass beads. Lined with matching watered silk. Some damage -- lining needs to be replaced, plus some bead damage and loss, especially where connects to frame. Hinge has worn through cloth on one side, plus +/- four tiny spots on faces of bag where 1-4 beads are missing. Damage at frame is somewhat noticeable, but small spots on face are not. Still beautiful! Appears restoreable. 1940s(?). 6" X 10" (not including clasp and chain). $50.00
