This is a vintage 1940s navy blue iridescent beaded purse, also referred to as a “carnival” beaded purse, with a round or oval "box" shape. It is covered in tiny, iridescent glass beads that shimmer in shades of blue and violet, giving it a sparkling appearance.
It is lined in dark blue satin and the lid has a large round mirror.
It has a lovely thick strap handle and is ready to go!
CONDITION:
The bag is almost mint. The original mirror was cracked so a new mirror was glued over it. It is barely noticeable.
The lining is in excellent shape and very clean.
The strap is also in excellent condition.
I am giving an overall rating for the purse as being in EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION.
MEASUREMENTS:
With the top on, it is 5.5”tall x 6” wide.
