#hb176 – COLLINS BOX BAG “STAR DUST” - $125.00

THIS IS A NEAT WOODEN BOX BAG BY COLLINS OF TEXAS! PURSE HAS ALL ITS “JEWELS” AND INTERIOR IS CLEAN. IT HAS BEEN USED AND HAS SOME SCUFFS, ETC. AND THE VINYL HANDLE COVERING HAS SOME INK RESIDUE/DISCOLORATION. HANDBAG IS NOT MINT CONDITION BUT THE “STAR DUST” IS NOT A COMMONLY FOUND THEME BAG. NICE ADDITION TO A COLLECTION OR FOR USE!

#hb175 – COLLINS OF TEXAS SHOULDER BAG SOLD

THIS IS A RATHER UNUSUAL COLLINS HANDBAG! IT HAS A LONG, SHOULDER STRAP (CAN BE PLACED INSIDE AND USED AS A CLUTCH) AND THE DESIGN IS ON THE LINEN TOP. PURSE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE COLLINS HORSE TRADEMARK ON THE FRONT AND INSIDE HAS THE SAME TRADEMARK ALONG WITH “COPYRIGHT, THE ORIGINAL COLLINS OF TEXAS, INC.”. HANDBAG SHOWS MINOR WEAR/STRESS ON THE STRAP (NOT DETRIMENTAL) AND A COUPLE MISSING RHINESTONES (ONE ON A BUTTERFLY AND ONE ON A FLOWER). THIS IS A GREAT, CASUAL COLLINS PURSE – PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY USE!

#hb174 – REX FIFTH AVENUE PETTI-PURSE - $100.00

WHAT A TREASURE – THIS IS A REX, FIFTH AVENUE PETTI-PURSE! IT HAS COMB, LIPSTICK HOLDER, AND COMPACT – APPEAR TO HAVE NEVER BEEN USED. HAS BEEN MONOGRAMMED ON LITTLE METAL PLATE ON FRONT OF PURSE – I BELIEVE THE INITIALS ARE S, E, C – THE PLATE HAS SOME TARNISH FROM STORAGE. PURSE IS MADE OF CLOTH, MEASURES 5 ¾” X 4”. ABSOLUTELY SUPER ADDITION TO A COLLECTION!

#hb172 – COLLINS OF TEXAS – “BOUNTIFUL” HANDBAG - $60.00

#m1957 – ONEX WEDGE HEEL SLIDES -- $28.00

THESE ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE SHOES! MADE BY ONEX, THEY HAVE A CLEAR PLASTIC UPPER AND 3 ¼” WEDGE HEEL. THEY’RE SIZE 7 (NUMBER IS ON BOTTOM OF SHOE), MEASURE 8 3/4" IN LENGTH, 3" WIDE AT WIDEST PART OF FOOT, AND 2 1/8" WIDE AT HEEL. I HAVE LOOKED VERY CLOSELY AT THESE SHOES AND COULD ONLY FIND THE NUMBER "7" BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE NARROW (MAYBE EXTRA NARROW) WIDTH WHICH IS WHY I HAVE LISTED THE SHOE MEASUREMENTS. SHOES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION – THEY NEED REPLACEMENT HEEL CAPS (APPEARS THE OLD ONES WERE REMOVED BUT NEW ONES WEREN’T PUT ON). PRICED TO REFLECT NEEDING NEW HEEL CAPS, THESE ARE LOVELY SUMMER SHOES THAT ARE EQUALLY ATTRACTIVE WITH CASUAL OR NOT SO CASUAL ATTIRE.

#m1956 – LADIES PUMPS WITH CARVED LUCITE HEELS - $48.00

AREN’T THESE PRETTY SHOES? MADE BY CONNIE, THE UPPER IS MADE OF SOFT PLASTIC THAT IS ACCENTED WITH A LEAF DESIGN AND FACETTED, CLEAR SPARKLY RHINESTONES! THE 3 ¾” LUCITE HEEL HAS A CARVED LEAF DESIGN. SHOES ARE IN VERY GOOD USED CONDITION AND APPEAR TO BE (APPROXIMATELY) SIZE 6-6 ½ (THERE IS NO SIZE MARKING). VERY NICE!

#hb158 – COLLINS WOOD BOX BAG - $165.00

THIS IS AN UNUSUAL COLLINS HANDBAG – IT’S A WOODEN BOX BAG WITHOUT “JEWELS”! THE ONLY ORNAMENTATION ON THIS ONE IS A PRETTY CARVED WOODEN PIECE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF THE PURSE. HANDBAG HAS MINOR EVIDENCE OF “USE” – SOME SCUFFS AND INSIDE BOTTOM HAS A FEW INK MARKS. OVERALL CONDITION IS VERY GOOD ON THIS DIFFICULT TO FIND COLLINS HANDBAG!

#hb157 – EVENING BAG WITH BEADED ROSES -- $275.00

I PURCHASED THIS LOVELY EVENING BAG AT AN ESTATE SALE AND IT WAS LISTED AS A “KNIT BAG WITH BEADED FLOWERS” – THAT WAS VERY INCORRECT! THE BODY AND CARRY STRAP OF THIS PURSE ARE MADE OF NAVY BLUE COLOR MATERIAL AND IT IS COVERED WITH BEADWORK – NOT KNITTING! THE ROSES, LEAVES, AND THE CENTER NAVY BLUE BAND ARE OBVIOUSLY BEADS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE KNITTING AT FIRST GLANCE IS ACTUALLY MORE BEADWORK AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL! THEY ARE SMALL CLEAR BEADS WITH A PINK BEAD CENTER – ASSEMBLED TO LOOK LIKE MANY LITTLE FLOWERS – WITH NAVY BLUE SPACER BEADS BETWEEN EACH “FLOWER”. DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN – WE HAVE TAKEN A CLOSE-UP SO YOU CAN SEE. PURSE MEASURES 6 ½” X 7 ¼” AND IS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LOOSE THREADS HANGING AT BOTTOM TASSEL AND THE PURSE RUFFLE (TOP) HAS A FEW LITTLE SPOTS THAT I WOULD SURMISE TO BE FROM SPRAY PERFUME. HANDBAG IS NICE AND CLEAN AND IS A SUPER ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!!

#hb156 – MANDALIAN METAL MESH HANDBAG - $375.00

BEAUTIFUL MANDALIAN MFG. CO. METAL MESH HANDBAG! AS OFTEN HAPPENED WITH THIS TYPE HANDBAG, THE METAL IS HEAVY AND IT HAS A TENDENCY TO PULL FREE AT THE HINGED AREA OF THE PURSE FRAME. I’VE LOOKED AT THIS AREA AND IT APPEARS TO BE REPAIRABLE – BY A PROFESSIONAL OR SOMEONE WITH A LOT OF PATIENCE, UNFORTUNATELY, I’M NEITHER. J THERE ARE 3 SHORT (BROKEN) CHAINS IN THE FRINGE. THE MOST EVIDENCE OF “USE” IS THE CLASP – IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAD A CLASP THAT FITS INTO THE CIRCULAR OPENING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE – THAT PART IS MISSING SO THERE IS NO CLOSURE ON THE PURSE. SINCE THE MAJORITY OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF HANDBAG HISTORY ARE PURCHASED FOR DISPLAY RATHER THAN ACTUAL “USE”, I DIDN’T HESITATE TO PURCHASE THIS ONE BECAUSE THE OVERALL CONDITION IS WONDERFUL!

#hb155 – CZECHOSLOVAKIA BEADED EVENING BAG - $48.00

BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE BEADED EVENING BAG! MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, PURSE MEASURES 6 ½” X 3 ½” AND STILL HAS SMALL MIRROR AND COMB INSIDE. NICE AND CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT WITH EXCELLENT BEADWORK!

#hb151 – GOLD AND SILVER BEADED EVENING BAG - $40.00

#hb149 – CHILD’S CLEAR PLASTIC HANDBAG SOLD

ADORABLE CHILD’S PURSE MADE OF CLEAR, HARD PLASTIC! IT HAS AN IN-MOLD FLOWER ON ITS HINGED LID AND THE CARRY HANDLE HAS A RATHER UNUSUAL SHAPE. PURSE MEASURES 4 ¼” X 4 ½” AND IS 3” TALL. BOTTOM HAS “MADE IN U.S.A.”. HANDBAG IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXPECTED “USE” EVIDENCE – SCRATCHES, ETC. NICE ITEM!

#hb138 - CHRISTMAS CORSAGE AND BEADED HANDBAG  (GOLD COLOR) - $48.00

THESE TWO ITEMS LOOKED SO PRETTY TOGETHER THAT I DECIDED TO LIST THEM TOGETHER!

THE CHAIN WILL FOLD INSIDE THE HANDBAG TO BECOME A CLUTCH TYPE BAG, HAS LABEL “MADE IN MACAW, VANESSA, EXCLUSIVELY FOR FASHION IMPORTS”. BEAUTIFUL ITEMS!!

#hb136 - IRIDESCENT METAL MESH COIN/COSMETIC PURSE - $28.00

ABSOLUTELY EYE CATCHING COLORS ON THIS METAL MESH PURSE! THE COLOR IS LIKE CARNIVAL GLASS – IT REFLECTS LIGHT DIFFERENTLY, PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN. PURSE IS THE PERFECT SIZE FOR AN EVENING OUT (WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH A LARGER PURSE) AND IT’S GREAT FOR MAKEUP OR CASH. MEASURES 4 ¼” TALL, 4 ¼” LONG, 1” WIDE (AT BOTTOM). I DON’T BELIEVE IT HAS EVER BEEN USED AND WHEN I PURCHASED, IT WAS IN A NEIMAN-MARCUS BOX BUT DOESN’T HAVE TAG/LABEL IDENTIFYING IT AS SUCH. PRETTY ITEM!
