Description: Lovely silver plated, 1920s ladies dance, coin, makeup purse made by Dermay of Paris and New York. Very art deco looking! During the roaring 20s, flappers engaged these purses for convenience sake. They were a combination coin and makeup purse. The smaller circular spot is for quarters, while the larger circular spot would have been for rouge. The long rectangular spot by the circles would have been for lipstick, while the very long rectangular spots on the opposite sides would have held kohl for lining the eyes and perhaps a color stick for the eyelids. The large rectangular spot would have held pressed face powder, and at some point in time someone etched "Edna" into the metal! So fun! Sadly, there are some issues with the clasp for the closure and the purse will not close all the way. The pressed powder closure also has issues with the handle and part of the flap, it is bent. These are highlighted in the photos. Please see all photos for condition and flaws. Measurements:2 3/4" wide4" long 8 3/4" long with chain Listing for purse only. Lace table runner not included This item is sold as is, as it is a vintage or antique piece. I make every effort to photograph and disclose all the flaws I notice so that you can see what you will be getting before you buy. I do not offer refunds unless I grossly mis-represent what I am selling, so please ask a lot of questions before you buy! My house is also home to our Rosie Dog. I make every effort to make certain there are no Rosie hairs on the products I sell. This item comes to you from a pet friendly, non-smoking home. However, I have purchased it from another person, and they may have smoked or had animals. I make every effort to sell clean, offensive-fragrance free items! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello there! I thought I would share a little bit about who you are buying this item from. My name is Gina and for the past 40 years, I have been an avid collector of antiques. At one point in time, my dream was to have a fabulous fashion museum that housed clothing, underwear, shoes, accessories and various items from the 1830s to the 1930s. Well, over time, that dream became a very unhealthy obsession so I am selling the vast majority of my museum off. My obedience to God is your gain! For most of last year I sold quite a bit of the museum on my Instagram page @thehouseofwhyte and that was fun, but a little too regimented for me and caused quite a bit of stress and anxiety. I am hoping that eBay is a better place to offer my items to new homes! I also sell newly crafted items on Etsy at theHOWboutique, if you would like to check out my integrity as a seller there! Happy Shopping, Gina
