You have to mean late 19th century…these bags don’t date back further than the late 1892 and became popular in the early 20th century…
Do you have more photos of this bag that include the metal hang tag inside?

@roselilylane no problem I'll post more pictures of the inside of the purse, although I believe I did not see any tags on the inside of this purse. I'll be more than happy to double check when I get home.
