    Antique Collectible Royal Russia 1910 Beaded Handmade Purse Wallet Beadwork Rare. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
    What a treasure! Beautiful beaded wallet/purse from 1910. This is an estate find and the Ms. (a German immigrant) had only the nicest things and this is certainly one of her treasures. The biggest bummer is it’s locked and I have not attempted to open for fear of damage to the piece. Unlucky for me but maybe your good fortune as I have no way of knowing if any treasure is inside.
    Similar item for currently for sale on EBay lists this as being of Russian origins. I have no idea truly but the inscription across the top is German - Gestzl Gescmutzt.
    As far as deficiencies - other than the missing key and it being locked there are very few considering the age. The beadwork is still amazing with very little bead loss (perhaps only 2 or 3 on the top where the fabric meets the metal top closure. There is a bit of metal loss due to age as demonstrated in the photos. Truly and rare and wonderful treasure!
