    This small leather purse was just recently found in a box of my grandmother's belongings. Unfortunately she is no longer with us, or I'm sure she'd have a wonderful story behind it. The inside seems to be made of silk, and the brass clasp has a rusted mark that looks like it says "patented for". Does anyone have any idea of the age or how I should clean and store it?

      Vetraio either both of us never sleep, or somehow we have managed to have the same sleep cycle:). Thank you very much for the love.

      I maybe wrong but I am thinking maybe not so old? 1920's? Very cool piece!

      Thinking Victorian. Not sure what you can/should do to clean it up.
      Vetraio lives in Sydney so (assume your in NA) he's up early if you are up late.

      Always up:) Thanks Moonstone and Amberose, I'm hoping there's a way to clean it because it sure does stink:)

      Hahaha, just thought you were putting a shine to it. Ask Blunderbuss, he'd probably know.
