Nice VICTORIAN STERLING Ladies WRISTLET PURSE / CARD CASE-Original Interior-

Description

Up for bid is a Victorian sterling silver ladies calling card case / change purse with wrist chain. The case is 3 1/2 inches long by 2 ½ inches wide by ½ inch thick and weighs 79 grams.  It is hinged at the bottom and has a press tab catch on top.  It has a 12 inch link chain attached to the top edge.  The piece is decorated front and back with a mock-etched scroll pattern border.  The interior has its original pale blue fabric accordion dividers, as well as a calling card from the original owner.  It is not monogrammed.  It is marked “STERLING-A” on an inner edge of both sides as shown.
Condition on the case is fairly good.  There are a few small dents, and it gaps a bit at the edges though it closes well.  The interior has some tears and fraying as well.  Still a nice old card case / purse.
