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
