NEW PROCESS ENAMEL MESH BAG - VINTAGE This is a great vintage mesh bag painted in yellow, turquoise and orange. It has tiny chain fringe and an enamel medallion on the front. It is lined with a silky fabric. The clasp is firm and works well. It has a push-button release. Inside the bag is a card which identifies it as a "New Process" Hand Bag. The patent numbers are listed. It states that the enamel is guaranteed not to chip off. Dampness or salt water will not effect the gloss or smoothness of the bag. "Beware of Imitations None genuine unless "Mandalian" appears on frame. Originators of these Enamel Bags." Mandalian Mfg Co is impressed in the metal top on the interior. It is in very good condition. There are a few places where the enamel is worn from the mesh (near the bottom). There appears to be 1 or 2 links of fringe missing. The lining fabric is worn. The interior has a small pocket. Dimensions: 4-3/8 inches wide and 9-1/4 inches from the peak of the handle to the tip of the fringe. Very Nice!!  

VINTAGE MESH BAG This wonderful mesh bag has an oval top which measures 3-1/4 inches wide by 1-3/8 inches deep. The lid has an impressed design around the edge and floral motif at both ends. It is engraved in the center with the initials MGM. With the lid open, the frame of the bag unfolds to a rectangular shape. Open, it measures 3-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches. There is a mirror on the interior of the lid. The bag is 6-3/4 inches long from the lid to the center point. The mesh portion is in excellent condition. The frame is tarnished but is in otherwise excellent condition. The closing mechanism is tight with a push-button release. There is also a darkened area on the front of the mesh portion.  

VICTORIAN SILVER AND MESH PURSE This Victorian metal mesh purse in very good condition. The engraved frame is marked German Silver. The frame and mesh are in excellent condition with the expected tarnish. The interior of the purse is white or vanilla leather with a small pocket. The leather is in used condition. The frame of the purse is 7-3/8 inches across the top. The mesh portion is 5-3/4 inches by 6 inches (to the tip of one of the scallops). The color in the first two pictures is not accurate - they are, unfortunately, a testament to my photography skills. The fourth picture is a scan and more accurately depicts the color of the bag.
