<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> Antique Whiting & Davis Mesh Purse. c:1920's. Here is a lovely old metal mesh purse with art deco geometric design. This purse is 11 inches long if measuring from top of chain; from top of lid to bottom it is 6 inches long x 3.5 inches wide. The metal clasp and chain are somewhat tarnished; the mesh is just fine! On the inside there is a mirror, but it is cracked. It also has a teensy metal tag inside that was bent; when I went to straighten it out, it snapped in half. I taped the part that broke off onto the mirror; this tag reads: Whiting & Davis Co. Bags, Reg. US & Can. You need a very good magnifier to read it. I knew it was a W&D even before I read the tag; the chain is very distinctive of a W&D bag. A great little purse for your collection! </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: purse90517</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:good antique</td></tr><tr><td>Year:1920's or earlier</td></tr><tr><td>Maker:Whiting & Davis Co.</td></tr><tr><td>Title:Antique Whiting & Davis Mesh Purse</td></tr><tr><td>Style:Art Deco</td></tr><tr><td>Location:rochester hills, michigan</td></tr></table>
