Vintage Flapper Rhinestone Purse Movie Star Wish Upon a Star

Clothing : Womens

 

There was a time that whenever I would see a rhinestone purse, well, I brought it...such an addiction , that truthfully, I still have today. So, once in a while I do happen upon one or two tucked away in this house. This wonderful purse is signed Made in Czecho-slovakia ..yes, it is signed with the dash in the middle as shown. It is 5 inches x 4 inches. Although it has been kept in a drawer here for years, it still shows the need of a light cleaning. The rhinestones sparkle like the fabulous jewels they are, but the frame of the purse needs polished ( silver-tone frame ) . The bottom corner of the purse has broke threads, so, 2 to 3 rhinestones lost , you do not notice the flaw due to the intact lining of the purse. The lining is clean and made of a creme rayon silk. I can still remember having this item displayed on my bedroom wall years ago when I had the entire wall facing the bed , filled with purses. This one would sparkle like the stars in the sky, especially when I would watch my T.V. at night while in bed...I also remember an elderly lady I once knew, that collected rhinestones..she and I talked about our passion for them, and how we displayed them. She told me a friend of hers with the same passion did the entire head board of her bed with huge rhinestone brooches...I never got around to doing that, but, it really sounded wonderful...Anyway, it's beautiful, and deserves to be admired instead of being tucked away in a drawer. From me to you, my wish upon a star rhinestone purse
