CONDITION NOTES:

Very Good antique condition with just one area missing a few links (see red arrow in pics 5, 6 & 9 - interior bag lining remains secure with no hole). Otherwise just minor -to- moderate cosmetic wear throughout from normal infrequent use/exposure to the elements over the years. We see NO other breaks or repairs. Chain well secured and in great shape. Interior lining is quite clean given its age and has NO offensive odor(s). All hanging beads/balls/spheres are present. Snap button closure works great - snaps open/shut easy yet holds tight. Hinges are strong. Previous/original owner engraved/personalized at top of frame with initials "K.W." (see last pic). Very nice patina to all materials throughout. All-in-all, a fantastic example. See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 5-3/8" wide (at metal frame) & 5" wide (at links) x 4" tall (excluding hanging beads) x 5/16" thick (at metal frame, when closed). Chain hangs approx. 8-3/4" from top of metal frame -to- midpoint. Weighs 7.4 oz..
