Is this handbag late 40's or 50's. I'm not sure. Lucite could even been 60's

Any markings on it at all?  Is that chrome with Lucite?

Lucite handbags started in late 1940's but betting yours is from 50's!

Believe it or not these sell from between $40 - $95!

Check the 'clasp' for the "mark".

If you can find a top name identifier on the metal anywhere you can increase value up to the hundreds!


This is an excellent article about them.  This person knows their purses!
