Item Features & Condition:
• Frame & Material: The ornate frame is crafted from solid Sterling Silver and features an intricate Art Deco design.
• The Mesh (Condition Note): The silver chainmail mesh is mostly in good antique condition. However, there is a small separation/tear where the mesh meets the frame near the hinge, which has been clearly documented in the close-up photos. This is a common issue with antique purses due to age and can be repaired by a specialist or enjoyed as-is for display.

• Mechanical Pencil: Attached to the carrying chain is the original matching propelling mechanical pencil. The body is completely stamped \"STERLING\" all around the metal band. The mechanism turns smoothly.
• Interior Lining: The interior features a clean, beautifully preserved vintage patterned fabric lining, which remains fully intact.
Hallmarks:
Stamped \"STERLING\" on both the interior frame of the purse and all around the upper band of the matching mechanical pencil.
