    This belonged to my great great grandmother. I believe it dates to around 1870 or so. It needs some minor repair. Does anyone know who does this kind of work near North Alabama?

      It looks like a Whiting and Davis brand purse. They date back to the 20's and the detail is enameled work. It looks to be in pretty good condition.
