$18 USD SaleSALE Old Glass Beaded Purse in Christmas Box for Salvage of BEADS!

Clothing:Purses
From 1910-1920 is this old glass beaded bag that I am selling for the beads and frame. It is in obvious poor condition, but the frame is salvageable as well as the glass beads. There is a green velvet liner under the beads that has some stains. The chain is rusted, but may be salvageable. Don't know about the chain. The frame has some patina on one side, but I think it can be cleaned up and used. The box is in okay shape but is the original box for the purse. The graphics are nice on it though! ...

$15 USD SaleSALE Art Deco Bakelite Button Clasp for Jacket or Coat / Belt Buckle FREE Shipping**

Clothing:Buttons
This is a wonderful Deco Era clasp / button for a jacket or coat, or maybe for a belt buckle. I purchased it in an antique store from a lady who deals in buttons. I just love the Art Deco look of it, in black and moss green. I believe it is Bakelite but could be celluloid. Most of the Bakelite I have is quite thick, even on the buttons so this may be Celluloid, but seem to be to strong and hard for celluloid. Either way it is a wonderful and clean piece. It is 2 inches (5 cm.) long and 1 1/4" ...

$35 USD SaleSALE Lovely Vintage Paperweight Glass Button w/ Pink Flower FREE Shipping**

This is a lovely vintage button. All glass except for the attached shank. Many people call this a paperweight button because it looks like a tiny paperweight.

The flower looks so big in the small glass domed button. Beautiful. In the middle of the flower is gold glitter, and atop of that is a tiny dew drop that ...

$85 USDNice Vintage Gold Tone Metal Vanity Compact - Purse "FREE Shipping**

Clothing:Purses:Compacts
This was absolutely black when I got it. It has two hallmarks inside of the compact / purse but I do not recognize the hallmarks or it may just be a logo for the maker of this item. This could be sterling silver dipped in gold color, but I'm not sure because I can't find an obvious sterling mark. It may just be brass but I have never seen brass get black, like the condition when I found it. It shined up like a sterling piece except when shining it came out gold color rather than silver. I ...
