This is an authentic Alligator Clutch Purse dating back from the 1930's or 1940s. it is a family heirloom, belonging to my Grandmom (I have many other heirlooms from her, don't worry!!) I am.hopjng this goes to a wonderful home. I never have an occasion to use it. size: 8in wide, 6in tall, 2 in deep great condition. The inside snap is a bit tarnished but will clean up nicely. zippers & enclosures inside work just fine. OBO
