Antique Fruit Friendship Ornament or Fancy Victorian Brass Purse With Latch

Antique Fruit Friendship Ornament or Fancy Antique Brass Victorian Purse With Latch. I am not exactly sure what this is. These are some of the answers that came up in a facebook Antique Group. Very charming and unique! Avant guard! Perfect for the holidays! One person even called it Harry Potterish. Found it at a local thrift store. Total measurement approximate 8" Tall with handle. The measurement of the Fruit is approximatly 5" Tall Looks like either a apple or pomegranate. The Brass looks hammered. There is a marking on the latch, but it is unreadable. Condition is excellent! I did not try to clean the brass because some people like to keep it patina. I figured whoever bought it can clean it if they wish. 11152024
