ANTIQUE CROCHETED MISER PURSE POUCH 1800'S AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL OLD PIECE ECRU

Description

Tiny old antique Victorian crocheted miser purse / reticule:
~ Flat small petite design for easy concealment
~ Hand crocheted with an off white or ecru cotton thread with a tight fine gauge seashell looking pattern
~ Working drawstrings - as you pull on the finger loop - the purse flat moves closed
~ To open you have to manually pull on the front of the pouch to open
~ Your use will be obscured by the very intentional web of strings that cross the opening for the safety of the contents
~ Originally designed to keep money / coins safe and sound
~ This is a rarer primitive utilitarian model without too much adornment - most
likely for a garter placement
~ I am guessing this to be mid to late 1800's in age
Ready and waiting for your outfit, collection, or gift giving - You will love this!
MARKINGS
:  None
- this is an old handmade piece
MEASUREMENTS
:
Roughly 4 1/4" across x 2 3/4" high, not including the drawstrings or loop - which is another 2 3/4" long - loop has a diameter of about 3/4".
Useable space will be less
than
the overall outside dimensions listed - suitable for very flat small items such as folded up money or coins
,
etc.  You need to be able to fit the contents through the strings - and
there isn't much room for pass through - they can be separated about an inch to an inch and a half or so to insert
contents.
CONDITION
:  Great vintage condition - no
damage to mention.   No holes, rips, tears,
etc - just some very slight or mild even discoloration one would expect from age and use.  Pull string set up in good working
order
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear.   Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged.  I will try my best to note anything glaring or distracting.  Do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part of the
description.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
, PLEASE READ:  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you -
just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free
.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)
NO WORRIES -
SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
