Vintage Whiting & Davis Gold Mesh Beggar’s Bag Coin Purse
Charming vintage Whiting & Davis gold-tone metal mesh “beggar’s bag” or gate-top coin purse, likely dating to the 1930s–early 1940s. This style uses an accordion-like metal framework at the mouth, allowing the small purse to expand considerably when opened.
Approx. Dimensions: approximately 3 1/4" wide x 4 1/8" high overall, excluding carrying chain
Condition:
Good vintage condition with some age-related wear throughout. The expandable gate mechanism opens as shown, and the hinged decorative lid remains attached. Interior is currently unlined. Please review all photographs closely for the exact condition and details.
