GRANDMOTHERS SILVER PURSES

THESE ARE SOME OF MY GRANDMOTHERS TREASURED SILVER PIECES THAT SHE GAVE ME MANY YEARS AGO.  THERE IS A FLAT SILVER PURSE WITH CHAIN WITH A MONOGRAM. THE INSIDE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS WITH A COIN HOLDER IN THE CENTER. THE SMALL COMPACT IS SILVER WITH AN OPENWORK BASKET DESIGN AND BEHIND THE DESIGN IS BLUE/GREEN GLASS THAT MAKES THE DESIGN SHOW UP. THE MESH PURSE IS VICTORIAN WITH A GORGEOUS EMBOSSED DESIGN. IT REMINDS ME OF THE LIDS ON THE OLD POWDER BOXES FROM THAT SAME ERA. I DISPLAY THEM IN A GLASS TOP TABLE TO PROTECT THEM.
