Lovely Art Deco Era 1930s Whiting & Davis ivory Alumesh purse. The purse has double handles and opens / closes easily with a spring hinged frame. The interior is lined in a black ribbed cotton fabric with one open pocket and an attached flag tag that reads, "Alumesh, Whiting & Davis CO. Bags, Made in U.S.A. Pat. 78,124". Patent 78,124 was granted on March 26, 1929.
Approximate measurements are 11" L x 6 1/2" H x 2 1/2" W. The double handles have a 6 1/2" drop.
The flag tag has some fraying, but the lining is in good condition otherwise. There is some loss of the ivory color on the handles from being carried and little loss of the color on the frame, but otherwise the purse is in very good condition. See photos for details.
